The Bay Area School
of Enterprise serves youth primarily from Alameda and Oakland
who are motivated to transform their lives and their communities.
The first youth-initiated charter high school in the country,
BASE provides an environment in which youth take ownership
of their own learning and change their own lives as they
change the community around them.
At BASE, each youth creates an individual plan incorporating
enterprise (project-based) learning, internships, and
small group instruction, appropriate to the way each individual
best learns.

Base Youth Mission Statement:
We are intelligent and committed youth who want
to see change in our world and are assertive about achieving
it. We see that traditional high schools do not meet the
needs of all teenagers. We are providing an innovative
alternative learning environment that will better serve
today’s youth. At the Bay Area School of Enterprise,
each youth will create an individual plan incorporating
enterprise, project-based learning, internships, small
group instruction, and independent study, as appropriate
to the way each individual best learns. Because learning
occurs everywhere in the real world, our school will seek
learning opportunities throughout our neighborhood, community,
region, nation and world. Our school will graduate powerful
new citizens who are ready to take responsibility for
the future. It will be a model of what is possible in
education when youth are empowered to take charge of their
own learning.
