Alameda Science and Technology Institute

The Alameda Science and Technology Institute (ASTI) is a specialized, early-college high school located in Alameda, California, operating under the Alameda Unified School District. Unlike a traditional high school experience, ASTI is designed as a small, focused learning community that partners with the College of Alameda. This unique model allows students to complete their high school graduation requirements while simultaneously earning significant college credits, often graduating with an Associate’s degree or a substantial head start on their undergraduate education.

The school is characterized by its rigorous academic environment and its commitment to fostering independence and college readiness among its students. By integrating high school curriculum with college-level coursework, ASTI aims to bridge the gap between secondary and higher education, making it an ideal environment for students who are self-motivated and eager to engage in a more mature academic setting. Its location on the College of Alameda campus further immerses students in the collegiate experience, providing them with access to resources and a campus atmosphere that prepares them for success in their future academic and professional pursuits.
