Our fall term begins on August 11, 2025. We will follow the Oakland Unified School District bell schedule for the fall with one exception: we do not close for professional development days. (In fact, some OUSD students join us on professional development days.)

That means that we have the following 2025-2026 holiday closures:

September 1 - Labor Day
October 13 - Indigenous Peoples’ Day
November 11 - Veteran’s Day
November 24-28 - Thanksgiving Break
December 22-January 2 - Winter Break
February 16th - President’s Day
April 3rd - 10th - Spring Break
May 25th - Memorial Day

We are accepting applications on a rolling basis for Fall 2025. We are happy to have students join even after the official start date. Our academic approach allows us a flexibility absent in more traditional schools.
