Aspen Public Schools was named after the aspen tree, known for its interconnected root system, symbolizing a tightly knit, interdependent community. Like the aspen tree, APS works to build a unified network of students, families, and educators, fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose to help students grow and thrive. Dedicated to "Building Fresno's Future," AMPS provides a stable, high-quality education in a small school environment where students can thrive. The school and network’s mission is to develop exceptional leaders who positively impact their communities.

Bridging the Gap: Education for All

The three APS campuses are located in historically underserved neighborhoods in Fresno. As California Community Schools, APS’ dedication to students and their families goes beyond the classroom. Staff work hard before and after school to close achievement gaps, promote equity, and cultivate an inclusive learning environment that honors students' diverse experiences and backgrounds.
