WHO WE ARE
Our Core Values

RESPECT, COMMUNITY, JOY, GROWTH, AGENCY.
Respect is the cornerstone of our interactions, ensuring that every student and staff member feels valued and heard. We cultivate a strong sense of Community, encouraging collaboration and mutual support to help everyone thrive. Joy permeates our school environment, fostering a love for learning and celebrating each achievement with enthusiasm. Our commitment to Growth drives us to pursue continuous learning and development, both academically and personally. Finally, Agency empowers students and staff alike to take initiative and make meaningful contributions, reinforcing our belief in personal responsibility and autonomy. Together, these values create a nurturing and dynamic environment where everyone in our school can flourish.
Our 9th – 12th Grade College Program
At Impact Academy, our 9th through 12th grade college program is designed to empower students with a robust foundation for their future academic and career success. Through a comprehensive suite of college preparatory courses aligned with A-G requirements, students engage in rigorous, challenging coursework that paves the way for higher education. Our dedicated college and career counselor works closely with each student, offering personalized guidance to craft a tailored pathway to and through college. By fostering academic excellence and strategic planning, our program supports students in achieving their educational aspirations and fulfilling our mission of preparing them for success beyond graduation.
Graduate Profile
Our Graduate profile consists of the following competencies which represents the Envision Schools’ vision for 21st-century skills, character traits, and cognitive and social-emotional skills that learners need for success in college, career, and life. Our promise to our students and families is that we will engage our learners in purposeful and meaningful ways that will enable them to build their capacity in demonstrating these competencies throughout their years at Impact Academy and beyond.
Principals’ Welcome
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

Welcome students and families to Impact Academy Middle Grades!
I am delighted to warmly welcome our vibrant Hayward community as the Principal of Impact Academy Middle Grades (IAMG). I am privileged to be a part of and lead this extraordinary school.
IAMG has long been a place of growth, achievement, and personal development, and I am excited to witness the potential for even greater success. I am filled with hope for the future of our students, teachers, and staff.
I expect that, together, we will achieve continued academic excellence. Our students will continue to thrive academically, exploring their intellectual potential and gaining the knowledge and skills they need to excel in their educational journey. Our unique approach to project-based learning and skill-based grading goes deeper into a productive learning space for all students.
In addition to academic success, here at IAMG, we also focus on the holistic growth of our students. Everyone at IAMG is dedicated to nurturing not only the minds but also the hearts and spirits of our students. As IAMG Spartans, we become critical-thinking, self-determined, and well-rounded leaders.
I believe in the power of collaboration and shared goals. Together, we can provide an exceptional middle school experience that prepares our students for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
I look forward to the years filled with achievements, growth, and shared success. Thank you for being a part of our Impact Academy community, and let us work together to make our middle school a place where dreams take flight and success knows no bounds.
Warmly,
Aly Stout
