Empowering Minds. Transforming Futures.

In 1998, longtime public school educator Don Shalvey joined forces with Silicon Valley entrepreneur and Netflix founder Reed Hastings to launch Aspire Public Schools, one of the nation’s first charter management organizations. The mission Don and Reed set out to achieve was simple and straightforward, and it remains the same to this day: open and operate small, high-quality, tuition-free charter schools in low-income neighborhoods.

Aspire now has 36 community-based schools serving over 15,700 students in California. Our schools range from TK through 12th grade. Teachers and parents partner closely to ensure students are prepared to succeed in college, career, and life.

Aspire’s Vision

Aspire scholars are prepared and empowered to build a fulfilling and liberated future for themselves and their communities. 

Aspire’s Mission

• Provide a rigorous, joyful academic experience that cultivates our scholars’ skills, talents, and gifts, such that they may pursue and persist in college or any post-secondary pathway that is authentic to their identities;

• Promote inclusivity and disrupt systems that have historically oppressed marginalized communities, including Black, Latino/a/x, Indigenous, and People of Color; and

• Nurture our scholars’ pride in their abilities, identities, and communities.
