Alameda Science and Technology Institute Reviews

The teachers and students make this school! Teachers challenge students in every subject. Having sat in on a few classes, I did not experience this kind of passionate thorough instruction and open discussion until I reached college. The expectation is high, the school rigorous. If your student is looking for a challenge, this is the place. My daughter plays competitive sports, and it is difficult to participate in an outside activity and maintain a high grade point average. It is possible, but the student must be disciplined to manage their time or quickly fall behind.
The school is small and focuses on academics, students that want to be in plays, play sports etc. can participate in either of the nearby in district larger high schools.

These are some of the best teachers I have ever experienced! Not exaggerating. My daughter chose this school because when she shadowed a student she could not believe the depth of knowledge and enthusiasm the teachers taught with. Teacher and staff support is great. This school is challenging academically, there is often two to four hours of homework, yet ASTI offers the kids a chance to grow personally and socially. Most of this is possible due to teacher's challenging students to learn, be creative and consider other views.

The school is small so there is limited after school and club activities. Any student can participate in either of the nearby large high school's activities including varsity sports, band, etc.
ASTI provides an extremely challenging and rigorous high school education. Only self motivated student should attend. Each student no matter how bright has the chance to succeed at ASTI. Teachers truly care about the future success of every student. It’s an amazing environment unlike any other school. Students will always have courses to challenge them, from high school classes to college courses.
