Samueli Academy students have heart and soul but all too often need more resources, relationships, and readiness than their peers from more affluent backgrounds.
This creates a gap between their potential and successful outcomes. For over a decade, your belief and support of our mission have enabled us to build a bridge of opportunity, connecting their potential to success.
Because of you, our students have put the pedal to the metal and thrived!
We invite you to partner as a key sponsor to our
Motors, Motorcycles, and Motown Gala,
scheduled for Saturday, October 5, 2024.
Then come dine with us and enjoy the soulful sounds of the Blue Breeze Band.
This unique event features a powerful glimpse into our fantastic school and the youth we serve, all while coming together to celebrate the sights and sounds of young America!
What Makes Samueli Academy Different?
Samueli Academy serves over 800 foster and community students annually in grades 7-12, including foster youth who live in our on-campus dorms! Additionally, we serve over 1,000 alumni.
Proceeds from our Motors, Motorcycles, and Motown Gala allow us to continue providing the fuel-injected research-proven support programs our students need to thrive:
Small Class Sizes: The teachers can deliver engaging, hands-on, innovative, interactive and industry-leading curriculum in these smaller, project-based learning classes.
Dedicated Student Success Coordinator: Provides not only specialized academic support but social and emotional support and understanding for our students in foster care.
Work-Based Learning Program: Exposes students to all the career possibilities by bringing corporate partners directly to campus for workshops, and we send students into the corporate world for unique workplace experiences, including internships.
Engineering and Design Pathways: Starting in their Sophomore year students will elect one of two robust 4-year career pathways, designed to expose and engage students in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) and introduce them to a host of potential careers.
Alumni Success Program: A Director of Alumni Success supports graduates for four years after they graduate, no matter what path they take.
Comprehensive Social and Emotional Support: Each student’s mental health is supported by multiple counselors, a full-time psychologist, and a comprehensive set of intentional programs.
Only Twelve Years Into Our Mission,
Samueli Academy’s Students are Beating
the Odds at Remarkable Rates.
Hop on The Bus!
