Founded in 1973, the Oakland Emiliano Zapata Street
Academy is Oakland’s original “small school.” An extremely
diverse high school, we are located in the “Pill Hill” area,
easily accessible by BART and bus. We are a fully accredited,
college preparatory high school. With a foundation in
Oakland’s historic struggles for civil rights and racial justice,
we provide a quality education with a focus on social justice
and personal empowerment. Our curriculum fulfils the
requirements to enter a four-year university. This curriculum
is based in social justice, critical thinking, and active learning.
In addition to college and career preparation, we offer
ethnic studies, visual and performing arts, and opportunities
for social and political activism. Our small classes average
20 students. Our unique Counselor/Teacher/Mentor
program provides each student with a faculty member who
provides daily assistance and guidance, keeping in close
touch with the student’s family. Our 12 week trimesters
and afternoon programs provide opportunities for credit
recovery and accelerated learning. Core academic classes
are offered Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from
8:30am to 2:30pm; a wide variety of electives are offered
on Wednesdays and each afternoon between 2:00pm and
5:00pm. Electives at our school include Urban Art, sailing,
gardening and community service.
