Coliseum College Prep Academy (CCPA) opened in the fall
of 2006 as a new small school on the Havenscourt campus
in East Oakland. Our primary commitment is to serve
the students of the surrounding community by providing
a high-quality secondary school option in the Coliseum
neighborhood. We strive to create a college going culture
beginning in middle school that acknowledges the magnitude
of the task at hand. We need a full seven years with our
students to get them college ready. One-hundred percent
of our student body would be the first in their family to
graduate from a four-year college and 96 percent of our
students receive free and reduced lunch, so we couple
our academic program with parent programs that aim to
engage, support, and educate. CCPA’s academic program
is split into three divisions, each with a distinct purpose
and a corresponding structure to support that purpose.
Our Division 1 (sixth and seventh grades) has a goal of
rapid academic growth. Over 85 percent of our students
enter sixth grade below grade level in English and Math, as
measured by the California Standards Test. To achieve our
goal of every student on grade level by eighth grade, our
Division 1 students loop with the same teachers for two
years to build meaningful relationships and also participate
in a mandatory extended day until 5pm for intense academic
support. Our Division 2 (eighth through tenth grades) is our
traditional secondary school structure, with an emphasis
on college preparation. Starting with Algebra in eighth
grade, our Division 2 students aim to complete the majority
of their California State University/University of California
A - G requirements during this period. Extended day
academic supportis also offered for our Division 2 students
until 4:15 pm. Our English and Math departments use the
ACT readiness Springboard curriculum to ensure rigorous
instruction. Students are also offered intensive intervention
in math and language during the school day. Our Division
3 students (eleventh and twelfth grades) participate in our
‘Make the Road’ program on a modified half-day schedule.
They have the option of taking CSU/UC transferable courses
at junior college or participating in a professional internship.
The goal of Division 3 is to successfully transition our
students into college and/or career by initiating that process
in a safe and supportive environment.
