KEY Academy is a public charter school dedicated to serving the needs of our students. We are conveniently located in the city of Hayward, offering residents of Hayward and the surrounding areas an alternative educational setting. We offer daily instruction in world languages and an after school program that enhances the educational experience for all of our students.

KEY Academy was founded by a group of educators, parents, and community members who were seeking an alternative to the local elementary and middle schools.

The name of KEY Academy embraces the mission and vision of this founding group. KEY stands for Knowledge Enlightens You. Just like keys, knowledge is a factor in opening doors to future success.
