School location

Our Oakland location is AAE's auxiliary classrooms in the East Bay (12 miles east of San Francisco). Our outstanding faculty extends their reach across the bay in our media-enhanced classrooms. A few minutes' walk from Lake Merritt, the Academy is within easy reach of downtown or Chinatown, which are also only a few blocks away. This site is also within close proximity to BART, which makes this a convenient location for students living across the Bay from San Francisco.
