A joint partnership between Alameda Unified School District and College of Alameda
Alameda Science and Technology Institute (ASTI) is Alameda Unified School District’s early college high school. ASTI is a unique program that provides qualified motivated students with a high school diploma and potentially up to two years of college credit by the time they complete their high school coursework in just four years.
The College of Alameda's Alameda Science and Technology Institute is supported by a grant from the Foundation of California Community Colleges' Early College High School Inititiative which is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation grant in partnership with Carnegie Corporation of New York, Ford Foundation, W. K. Kellogg Foundation.
With an impressive score of 805 on California’s Academic Performance Index (API) rating, ASTI exceeded the state target for academic excellence in its first year of operation. The strength of the curriculum is evident in the success of the students.
ASTI is located on the College of Alameda (COA) campus. It opened in 2004 when it admitted its first students. Currently there are both 9th and 10th graders at ASTI. Each year ASTI will be adding a grade level until it reaches a maximum of 400 students, 9th through 12th grades.
In the 9th and 10th grades, ASTI students take predominantly high school courses, transitioning to mostly college level courses in the 11th and 12th grades. The college courses will satisfy California high school graduation requirements while preparing students for successful transfer to four-year colleges or to the world of work. Students are exposed to a rigorous and challenging college preparatory education at no cost. Not only are students prepared for college, but ASTI students also take college classes immediately in high school.
[What are benefits of ASTI?]
• Provides the opportunity to earn an Associate’s Degree or up to two years of college credit toward the baccalaureate while students are still in high school.
• Offers a small, personalized learning environment with small class sizes.
• Excellent resources, including the college library, access to other college libraries, and a ratio of 2 laptop computers to every 3 students.
• Maximizes learning opportunities during junior and senior years of high school.
• Facilitates the transition of motivated students into higher education.
[Who should apply to ASTI?]
Although a high grade point average (GPA) is not a requirement, a high level of motivation to tackle a rigorous and challenging curriculum is mandatory. Although ASTI is available to all students, low-income students, first-generation college goers, English language learners, students of color and students who are highly capable but academically underachieving and who need an alternative education are encouraged to apply.
