Aveson Charter School is a free public school. Aveson Charter School is a small, student-centered K-12 learning community with a focus on personalized learning, social leadership and healthy living. The founders of Aveson long dreamed of a place where students of all cultural, socioeconomic and academic backgrounds succeed in an unprecedented public school environment.

The mission of Aveson Charter School (ACS) is to inspire the global leaders of this and future generations. ACS provides the flexibility of time, space, and resources necessary for a diverse group of students from the Pasadena and surrounding area to move beyond dependency in learning to become successful independent learners and leaders. Through an academically challenging, personalized, project-based, social entrepreneurial program, students will become inquisitive and confident learners who are prepared to be successful leaders in the global community.
