The SMART Alumni Page

SMART Alumni graduate into private and public high schools all over the Bay Area and beyond. Just under half of our students earn enough scholarship money to attend private schools. Alumni schools include University High School, International High School, The Bay School, The Urban School, Drew College Prep, Robert Louis Stevenson Boarding School (Pebble Beach, CA), Lowell HS, Gateway Charter HS, Leadership Charter HS, June Jordan School for Equity, Sacred Heart Cathedral Prep, Mercy HS, and more...

The rest of this page is designed to give our alumni important resources about past SMART students and assist in guiding you as you proceed through high school and start applying to colleges. As always, we want to hear how you are doing. If you are SMART alumni, please click on the link below, and give us an update on your current life!

If you are an alumni and would like help with college applications or interested in an alumni internship or volunteer opportunities, please contact Alvaro at 415.865.5400 or email him here.
