20YEARS
2007 to 2027
20 Years of Warrior Intellectuals
It started in 2003 with one conversation on a train. Four years later, ARISE opened its doors in Fruitvale. Since then, our students, families, and staff have earned three charter renewals, made ARISE the first charter school in the nation to earn Linked Learning Gold, and built a community that keeps rising together.

Our Lobos and Lobas compete in volleyball, soccer and basketball as Warrior Scholar Athletes, held to the same high standards on the court, on the field and in the classroom. In 2025-26, Boys Soccer won the BACSAC championship, Girls Basketball finished as Division B runner up, and Boys Volleyball took the Division B title. This year, Boys Soccer moves up to the Oakland Athletic League.

ARISE is now the only Gold-Certified Linked Learning charter school in the Nation!
Our Public and Community Health for the People pathway earned Gold Certification from the Linked Learning Alliance. ARISE is the first charter school in the nation, and the first school in Oakland, California, to earn Gold. This is a great honor and a testament to the hard work of our students, families, staff, and partners. It takes a village!
Our Education for the People pathway is Silver Certified and working toward Gold. We are incredibly proud of our community to educator pipeline and how our ARISE alumni Academic Mentors represent us every day. Thanks to their leadership our students, staff, and families all feel more supported and connected. We are also proud that we now have two former academic mentors as credentialed staff at ARISE, and even more in the pipeline.
We are looking to partner with more community organizations that offer employment and internships for students.
