I read this book by Frederick Douglass and he talked about 'liberating your mind.' He liberated his mind by getting an education. I realized, if I go to college and learn, then I'll be able to do anything I want.

- AURORA, IMPACT ACADEMY GRADUATE
 Envision has changed the way I think about my future.

- KARIMAH, ENVISION ACADEMY GRADUATE I like to imagine education as a window you can look out to see the world and how it works. That way, when you go out into the world, you know what you can expect and you’re ready for it.

- SHAWN, IMPACT ACADEMY GRADUATE I absolutely love the teachers at Envision. They take the time to actually talk and engage with students.

- MARIAH, CITY ARTS & TECH GRADUATE The portfolio defense here at Envision helped me gain all the confidence that I have. I can be proud of myself!

- KIM, CITY ARTS & TECH GRADUATE The high expectations here have made me stronger, more open minded, and aware of how to handle things and be ready for college.

- ROMEIKUS, CITY ARTS & TECH GRADUATE I feel unstoppable.

Latest News

This past February 2025, Envision Academy had a very special visit from Interim Oakland Mayor Kevin Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins, a truly connected and inspiring leader, shared words of encouragement, appreciation, and acknowledgement for the important and urgent work our teachers and staff do every day. He even issued a special Mayoral Proclamation honoring Envision Academy for being “a leader in educational excellence, dedicated to student-centered learning and equity in Oakland” and for “fostering a pro-Black, anti-racist environment where all students, particularly first generation college bound students, can thrive.” We are incredibly proud to celebrate this honor and recognition from our beloved city’s Interim Mayor.

What Teachers are saying

“Our portfolio model makes it possible for students to do the heavy lifting while demonstrating their learning in an authentic way. I am proud to be a part of Envision’s growth and to be a part of a founding team of professionals that recognizes the need to extend this type of learning and support to the middle school.”

— Omar

“My teaching practice has grown infinitely since being at Envision and I feel so grateful to be surrounded by brilliant, dedicated, and relentless leaders and educators. I am supported with resources and opportunities to be my best self in the classroom, and to serve my students in a culture of joy, growth and reflection.”

— Marni
