Overview

The mission of Urban Promise Academy is to develop scholars, warriors, and artists. We prepare the middle school students of Oakland for success in college and career by equipping them with the skills to become confident, self-driven learners and respectful leaders who show solidarity with their communities. UPA is a small school by design and supports students not only with their academics but also their social and emotional well being. Families play an vital role in our community and have many opportunities to give feedback participate in instructional walkthroughs.
