Middle 6-8
United for Success Academy is a small school in the Fruitvale
community of Oakland. Our mission is to interrupt inequities
in our community by ensuring all students are academically
and socially prepared for success in high school and beyond.
In order to achieve our mission, we have partnered with the
community to offer services to supplement our academic
program. We offer an extensive afterschool program open
to everyone, a health clinic on site with dental services,
on-site mental health providers, an academic counselor,
young men’s groups, a family center that is open daily,
parent education classes, and much more. Additionally, we
work together to create a vision in service to our mission:
1) Achieve Academically -- students are strong readers
and writers, algebra-ready, and technologically proficient.
They learn and demonstrate their understanding in holistic
and varied ways; 2) Uphold Community -- students are
engaged in positive, healthy relationships at school and in
the greater Fruitvale community. Students celebrate and
embrace their rich diversity of identities and experiences;
3) Create Solutions -- students are critical thinkers who are
intellectually curious, advocate for their own learning, apply
their learning and engage in inquiry/problem-solving cycles;
and 4) Unfold as Leaders -- students are leaders who utilize
their voice, talents, and creativity to advocate for themselves
and others and to bring about positive social change in the
school and community.
