Natomas Charter School is made up of five diverse and unique academies. Each academy program acts as a "school within a school," offering a distinctive instructional delivery system. Since the school was founded in 1993, Natomas Charter School has been recognized as a leader and one of the best schools in the Sacramento region. We have won numerous awards including most recently a Niche 2020 Best Charter Schools award and 2021 and 2022 Best Public Middle School in Sacramento County as well as being featured in the Sacramento Bee as one of best high schools in the region for college preparedness and University of California Admissions.

The mission of the Natomas Charter School's Leading Edge Academy is to prepare middle school students not only for high school but for the challenges of the 21st century. The Leading Edge Academy will enable students to become life-long learners by developing a solid foundation in technology, providing community involvement opportunities, and promoting students' and parents' active participation in the learning process through a hands-on, cross curricular three year program. All students will be held to high academic and behavioral standards and will leave well-equipped with pride, confidence, responsibility, and the knowledge needed to excel beyond the middle school environment.
