Parenting Teen Programs

Programs Serving Parenting Teens

ACOE runs a school program for parenting teens at two separate sites, in San Leandro (Hobbs Academy) and Hayward (Burke Academy). Each location includes on-site child care to support students as they strive to complete their high school graduation requirements. Any parenting student in Alameda County is eligible to enroll. Students whose home district is not able to provide a parenting program may attend a county school.

Students may be identified by parents, counselors, nurses, doctors, other students, and local agencies. Referrals for students under 18 can be made by their district of residence

Student Eligibility

School districts have primary responsibility for serving the students in their communities. ACOE supports students who can’t be served by a district or who need special programs not offered in their district, including: expelled youth, students on formal probation, students under the supervision of child welfare, teen parents, foster youth, students on informal probation for attendance or behavior problems, and infants and pre-schoolers with special needs.

Student Enrollment

Students are referred to ACOE SPaS through their school district of residence, child welfare agency or the probation department. Enrollment is for one semester to a calendar year and may be extended.
