About ASTI
Alameda Science and Technology Institute (ASTI) is a public High School in the Alameda Unified School District (AUSD). It was founded in 2004 through a partnership between AUSD and the College of Alameda and funded by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. As an Early College High School (ECHS) ASTI provides students the opportunity to enroll as full-time community college students during their 11th and 12th grade years. Our school is based on the belief that ALL students deserve and are entitled to a college education and that ALL students are capable of succeeding at a high academic level. We aim to provide the rigor and support needed to prepare students for entrance into college courses after two years of high school instruction. Our student body is diverse and we actively seek out students that are traditionally underrepresented in the areas of socioeconomic level, home language, first generation college goers and ethnicity. Students who are highly motivated and focused on college should consider applying to ASTI.
ASTI also provides many leadership and extracurricular opportunities for students who are looking for experiences outside of coursework. We have a strong student government and leadership class that organizes regular student events and has founded a number of student clubs and organizations. Our PTSA, SSC, clubs and even some lunchtime courses are all student led. ASTI students also create their own opportunities! Any ASTI student can form an organization or step into one of the many leadership opportunities we have available.
