Connecting Waters Charter - East Bay

Connecting Waters Charter - East Bay is one of those rare K-12 schools that quietly punches well above its weight, landing among the top schools in California with standout scores across English, math, and science. As a charter school serving the Union City area of the East Bay, it draws families who want an intentional, community-driven alternative to traditional public schooling — the kind of place where parents tend to be deeply involved and students build real relationships across grade levels. Union City itself sits in a diverse, working-class corner of Alameda County between Fremont and Hayward, with easy BART access and a tight-knit feel that suits a school with this kind of cohesive, mission-focused culture.
