About IMPACT ACADEMY

Impact Academy of Arts and Technology is a tuition-free public charter school in Hayward, serving grades 6 through 12 and dedicated to transforming students’ lives by preparing them for success in college and in life. Impact Academy offers students a rigorous academic experience and a diverse, compassionate community in which to grow. Our students are inspired and empowered to be leaders in their high school education and their communities.

Impact Academy is one of three Bay Area charter schools operated by Envision Education, a charter management and education consulting organization founded in 2002.

In 2014, Impact Academy was the subject of an important study conducted by the Stanford Center for Opportunity Policy in Education (SCOPE); among other things, this study found that Impact Academy is an exemplar of student-centered teaching and learning in an urban environment.  To read the report and learn more about “student-centered learning” in action at Impact, click here: Student Centered Learning at Impact Academy.

Pooja Maharaj

Impact Academy High School Principal

Welcome students and families to Impact Academy of Arts & Technology High School!

I am excited to take the helm as IAHS principal after serving as IAHS Vice Principal, and as an IAHS Biology teacher before that. I am looking forward to leading this strong and vibrant community, and to partnering with all of our students and families!

IAHS, an Envision School, creates a thriving learning environment that inspires all students to enter, succeed in, and graduate from college. We are a small school that centers learning around the Core Values of Respect, Agency, Joy, Growth, and Community. Graduates of IAHS are lifelong learners who practice, reflect on, and defend our graduate profile skills of Collectivism, Criticality, Knowledge, and Love of Self and Land, Self-Determination, Leadership, and Critical Thinking.

Pre-pandemic, IAHS prided itself on rigorous experiences such as Work-Learning-Experiences, Exhibitions, and Defenses, in which our students demonstrate their knowledge & skills publically to stakeholders. We are excited to slowly relaunch many of these experiences while centering health & safety as we navigate through the world-wide pandemic. In addition, our staff is aligning their A-G curriculum to Common Core and other national and statewide standards that prepare students for college and careers.

Our talented and loving staff commits to building relationships and supporting and educating your child, and we are looking forward to working with you to ensure the best possible education for every student. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. Once again, welcome to IAHS!

In solidarity,

Pooja Maharaj
