About the Employer

The mission of University Preparatory Academy is to prepare students to enroll and excel in the best colleges and universities in the nation. UPA serves a diverse population of 7th through 12th-grade students, most of whom reside in Santa Clara County. UPA’s campus is easily accessible, located off Highway 87 at Curtner Avenue. The campus is located across the street from a light rail station and local bus station. This strategic location enables UPA to draw students from school districts throughout Santa Clara County. UPA is a college preparatory alternative for those students who are not performing to their potential and get lost in traditional large middle and high school settings. UPA provides a strong, supportive, small school environment for students to excel academically. Students demonstrating the desire and drive to make college a reality will find a home at UPA. The curriculum and pacing, along with the expected learning outcomes, are designed to challenge students. In conjunction with high expectations, UPA offers supportive learning environments in every classroom as well as a full complement of support classes for Math Support, English Support, and Intensive English Language Learner support. Students attending UPA will find both the challenge and support necessary to keep college and university within reach.
