Aspen Public Schools, a non-profit 501(c)3 charter school management organization, operates 3 public charter schools in Fresno, CA. The mission of Aspen is to transform the community by developing exceptional leaders.

The overall vision leads to greater quality of life for all people in Fresno, regardless of race or economic status. To deliver on this mission and vision, Aspen is focused on the promise of equal educational opportunity for all children.

Aspen currently educates students in historically underserved neighborhoods, with roughly 80% of our students identifying as Black and Latino.

With its college-preparatory focus, the Aspen approach is attaining academic gains throughout the network. Beyond our students and schools, Aspen is an engaged partner in the Fresno community, and involved in the larger conversation about how to improve public education and student achievement for all.

This involves:

Recruiting and developing successful teachers and school leaders who strategically use student data to drive instruction and leadership development; Creating a school culture where joy and belonging mark the student experience, with an emphasis on developing leadership that focuses students on college and their futures; providing students with grade-level curriculum, a facilitated learning environment that demands more student cognitive lift, and intense intervention when they are struggling, so that every child has a path to success.
