Chief Executive Officer
Welcome to Envision Schools!
As Envision’s new CEO, I am so energized by my visits to our classrooms: everywhere, there is evidence of our students’ brilliance and our teachers’ dedication and talent. I’ve seen students diving into lessons and teachers working together to plan incredible learning experiences. It’s inspiring! Here are some things we are celebrating right now:
- Across our network, the Class of 2022 broke records for college acceptance this year, with 92% accepted to 4-year colleges and universities. Join me in congratulating our hard-working students!
- We are also proud of the many students who received significant scholarships, including almost 30 Oakland Promise awards, and full-ride, four-year awards from Questbridge and the Posse Foundation.
- Envision also gave 17 of our own scholarships this Spring, including six to 2022 graduates and eleven to our alumni who are in college. If you are a graduate of Envision currently working towards your Bachelor’s degree, learn more about these opportunities here.
- On August 15th, 2022, our newest school opened its doors in San Francisco! City Arts & Leadership Academy (a successful merger of two great schools: Leadership High School and City Arts & Tech High School) is bustling with brilliant students, dedicated teachers, gorgeous murals, and big plans for the future. I’d like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to the many students, families, teachers, and staff who have worked so hard to launch this new community! You are what makes CAL a special place.
It’s exciting to be part of Envision! I invite families in Oakland, Hayward, and San Francisco to get to know us, enroll in our schools, and become part of the Envision family (see links to our schools below). We are also always looking for great teachers, so please also explore our career opportunities! In the meantime, please reach out to me if you’d like to get in touch!
In community,
Jillian Juman
Envision CEO
