An outstanding charter school nestled in the hills of the Redwood Heights District in Oakland CA. COVA takes a holistic approach to educating the children that attend by providing an outstanding educational and arts program which continues to expand. The staff and parents are extremely dedicated to the success of each and every child, making learning a fun experience.

This is our first year at COVA and we (child and parents) have been very pleased. Expectations in all areas are high - academics, performing arts, and student conduct which contribute to a great learning environment. They take the time to assess each child and make sure they meet their academic needs.
Our daughter started Kindergarten two months ago at COVA... she loves it and is so happy there. We are proud COVA parents.

My Kindergarten child absolutely loves to go to school each day. She is delighted to be in a place where she gets to go to music class and sing each day. Her classroom teacher is energetic and sweet, and the parents so far have seemed engaged and interested. As this is a newish charter, I can see that the culture of the school is still forming, but things are looking good so far. Don't let the test scores fool you, by the way. I believe this school is academically strong. It has been growing at an unprecedented rate--something like 45 students in year one, closer to 150 in year two, and now 190 in year three. The current scores may reflect the mixed bag of prior educational experiences rather than the kids' experiences at COVA. Look for better things in the years to come!
