Aurora Collegiate Academy is a K– 5 college preparatory charter school for underserved children from across Memphis.  Aurora opened its doors in August 2012 with a mission of laying down a firm foundation of academic success and high expectations for our students so that they are prepared to make it into and through college.  

If you are relentless about seeing disadvantaged students achieve at high levels, this is a chance to build a school that does whatever it takes to ensure college success for all children.  

Members of Aurora Collegiate Academy staff will work to prepare students in grades kindergarten through fifth with the academic, social, and character foundation necessary to compete in college and beyond.  It is the expectation that Aurora Collegiate Academy teachers will live our mission, instill our core values, and do ‘whatever it takes’ to provide students with the education they deserve.
