Aspire Central Valley recently celebrated a significant milestone with the ribbon-cutting ceremony for its newly renovated Aspire APEX Academy and Aspire Stockton Secondary Academy in South Stockton! The state-of-the-art campus within the San Joaquin Housing Authority development marked a new chapter for Aspire as it continues to bring high-quality, tuition-free education to the Sierra Vista community. This vibrant event showcased Aspire’s commitment to “Empowering Minds. Transforming Futures.” with a focus on providing comprehensive educational opportunities for students from transitional kindergarten through 12th grade.

The ceremony was filled with energy and enthusiasm, featuring inspiring speeches by school officials and student representatives who spoke passionately about the new campus’s potential. Following the ribbon-cutting, attendees were invited to tour the facility, where they explored classrooms, student resources, and community spaces designed to foster a nurturing and innovative learning environment. The campus was full of excitement reflecting the optimism and promise of a new learning hub for the San Joaquin Valley.

As part of its holistic approach to education, Aspire APEX and Aspire Stockton Secondary Academy will offer extensive programs that cater to students’ academic and personal growth. Thanks to partnerships with local organizations, the schools provide dual-enrollment opportunities through San Joaquin Delta College, health career pathways with Modesto Junior College, and an engineering academy program in collaboration with the University of the Pacific. Aspire also offers programs tailored to support families, such as free before-and-after-school care with the Boys & Girls Club and parent education classes, ensuring parents and students have the resources they need to thrive.

Firmly embedded in the Central Valley for over 20 years, Aspire Public Schools operates 16 schools serving over 7,000 students in the region. The new campus will not only meet the educational needs of Stockton families but also introduce a new career pathways program to inspire high school students interested in teaching and education-related fields. This program will help address teacher shortages while creating pathways to rewarding careers for graduates.

The Aspire APEX and Aspire Stockton Secondary Academy campus is a testament to Aspire’s commitment to academic excellence and community development. Located at 2410 Belleview St., Stockton, CA, the campus is open for enrollment and welcomes families to come and experience firsthand the transformative impact of a quality education.
