Education for Change Public Schools (EFC)

🎓 Education for Change Public Schools
Free. Public. Community-built.
Rooted in Oakland. Ready for everywhere.

Education for Change (EFC) began because Oakland families imagined something more for their children—schools where students are known, challenged, and celebrated for who they are. Today, we’re a network of six free public charter schools dedicated to accelerating academic growth, building confidence, and preparing every student for college, career, and a meaningful life.

At EFC, learning is personal and purposeful. Students find more than classrooms—they find joy, belonging, and challenge. Families find partners who share their hopes and values.

What We Believe:
1. Every child deserves an excellent education, no matter their zip code.
2. Belonging starts now—students are safe, seen, and celebrated from day one.
3. Academic excellence prepares students for college, career, and a future full of possibility. Wherever life takes them, they’re ready.

✨ Big futures start here.
