Yav Pem Suab Academy - Preparing for the Future Charter School # 1186 was approved by the Sacramento City Unified School District (SCUSD) Board of Education on March 18, 2010.  The Academy has the support of Superintendent Jonathan Raymond and is operated by a nonprofit organization led by several long-time educators and community members.  The nonprofit is called the  Urban Charter Schools Collective (UCSC) and was incorporated by the California Secretary of State on October 29, 2009. 

At Yav Pem Suab Academy you will find many successful educational practices used  in other parts of the country but not yet implemented in Sacramento.  These successful practices include a longer school day and a shorter summer vacation.  At the Academy, most students attend school between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday through Thursday.  Kindergarten students attend between 8:00 AM and 2:00 PM.  The new school year runs from August 2, 2010 to June 30, 2011 with a one-month summer break in July.

In addition to the standard curriculum of English language art, math, science, and social studies, the Academy offers art, music, Hmong language development, and sports.  The school is open to all children living in California.  We extend a special invitation to students who are not doing well in school and who are currently attending a school in Program Improvement (PI).  Our goal is for each students to exceed the state’s curriculum standards.
