Organization Overview
The Eden Area ROP operates as both a school district and a school site. In addition to functioning as a district, we also serve as a campus for 11th and 12th grade students from our partner districts, including Hayward Unified School District, Castro Valley Unified School District, San Leandro Unified School District, and San Lorenzo Unified School District.
Students attend classes at Eden Area ROP during a morning or afternoon three-hour block in place of three elective courses at their resident high school. While here, they participate in Career Technical Education programs that provide hands-on, project-based learning experiences aligned with industry sectors and career pathways. Through active engagement in real-world applications, students develop technical skills, earn industry certifications, and gain early college credit through dual enrollment and articulated courses aligned with community college pathways, while also making meaningful connections between their academic learning and future career opportunities.
Many of our courses are University of California A-G approved and have articulation agreements with community colleges where students can earn college credit through successful completion of the course. Additionally, we cultivate relationships with business partners that create opportunities for internships and other innovative work-based learning activities.
The Eden Area ROP is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
As a Career Technical Education provider, the Eden Area ROP partners with Castro Valley, Hayward, San Leandro, and San Lorenzo Unified School Districts to strengthen and broaden the students’ educational experience.
