Melrose Leadership Academy
Melrose Leadership Academy is the only K-8, dual-immersion Spanish/English, public school in Oakland. Dual immersion is a form of bilingual education that combines native English speakers with native Spanish speakers for academic instruction in both languages. The explicit goal of our dual immersion program is that students become bilingual, biliterate, and develop positive cross-cultural attitudes and behaviors, which prepares them to become members of a global society.

The vision of Melrose Leadership Academy is to partner with families, students, and the community to create an environment that enables students to be bilingual, creative, thoughtful, self-motivated learners. We nurture a culture of mutual respect and multiculturalism, where dialogue among students and adults is central to learning. Melrose Leadership Academy is a place where students can exercise their curiosity, their voice, make meaningful choices and challenge themselves and each other academically and where students develop their sense of responsibility to transform our school, community and world.

Emery Ed Fund
In partnership with Clifbar, Farley's on 65th works with a local non-profit to highlight the great work they do in the community and help raise much needed funds. Every Tuesday, a portion of sales are donated to that month's featured non-profit. In January, we are featuring the Emery Ed Fund. The Emery Ed Fund mobilizes local and regional resources to bring increased funding and innovative programs and strong partnerships to Emeryville's public schools.
