Orange County Academy of Science and Arts

About Us

Orange County Academy of Sciences and Arts (OCASA) is an award-winning, tuition free public charter school network rooted in a simple belief: schools should be built around
students — not around the convenience of the systems that serve them. Founded in 2015 and now serving families across multiple Orange County campuses, OCASA offers a rigorous,
student-centered education that integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics at every grade level. Our academic model combines mastery-based instruction,
project-based learning, and personalized support to ensure every student — regardless of zip code or background — has a clear pathway to college and career success.

At OCASA, small-group instruction isn't a supplement. It's the foundation. Our teachers know their students by name, strength, and need — and design learning experiences that honor
both the academic standards California demands and the individual potential each child brings
through the door.

We are proud to be part of the Santa Ana community. Our Santa Ana campus reflects the
rich diversity and drive of this city, and we are committed to being a long-term partner in its economic and educational future. We actively welcome community partnerships, employer
engagement, and family involvement as essential components of a thriving school.

OCASA is authorized by the Orange County Department of Education and is a member of the California Charter Schools Association. To learn more, visit ocasa.org or contact us to schedule a campus tour.
