The schools’ mission is to provide a socioeconomically, culturally, and racially diverse community of students in the heart of each of their neighborhoods, with an intellectually challenging, experiential learning environment that develops each individual student’s confidence, potential, and individual responsibility as citizens of the world.

Improvements also include a spacious art room, thoughtful library space, spaces for student services, administrative offices and a renovated gym. The project will meet CA Green Building Standards and include building electrification, solar-ready roof and storm water management. This loan was partially funded with funds from Mackenzie Scott. This is a participation loan with Capital Impact Partners.
