The Alameda Science and Technology Institute (ASTI) is an early college high school in Alameda, California, United States.
School description
Alameda Science and Technology Institute is located on the campus of the College of Alameda in Alameda's West End neighborhood. First opened in 2004, ASTI is a collaboration between Alameda Unified School District (AUSD) and the College of Alameda. ASTI was planned and conceived as a small high school providing a college preparatory curriculum to students living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Students earn two years of college credit during their junior and senior years.
Physical plant
Originally located in an abandoned upholstery shop at the College of Alameda, in 2006 ASTI installed the last of seven modular buildings, achieving autonomy as a high school co-located on a college campus. In 2007–2008, ASTI created a new science lab classroom and a new technology lab. In 2013–14, ASTI added a school garden adjacent to the College of Alameda gym. In 2015-16 a permanent school sign was installed in front of the school garden.
Governance structure
From its inception in 2004 until 2008, a series of four principals oversaw ASTI; from 2008 to 2011 it functioned under a teacher-leader model. Operations were overseen by the teacher-leader, and a district liaison helped resolve larger issues. In 2011 the teacher-leader was named "principal". AUSD and ASTI staff cooperate jointly to help direct the program, working closely with a college liaison who serves as a dean at the community college.
