Aurora Collegiate Academy is a college preparatory K–5th grade charter school serving children from across Memphis. In 2012, our school was established with the fundamental belief that the foundation for academic and character success needed for college begins in kindergarten. We serve a diverse population of students in grades K-5 from all over Memphis and the world, and over half of our students come from Spanish-speaking homes. We pride ourselves on providing extensive support in literacy and language. As part of our support for literacy and language we have available to our scholars a library. You can see the list of books here.

Core to our mission, we unequivocally believe that every child, regardless of race, socioeconomic status, or incoming academic level is capable of achieving high academic success. We hold that it is every child’s fundamental right to be provided with a tuition-free, academically rigorous public education. All of our students are capable to get to and through college.
