REALM Charter School Archive

Berkeley, California · 2011–2019

REALM Charter School was a public charter middle and high school in West Berkeley, California. It organised its program around project-based learning and design thinking, and it housed Studio H, a design-build class that drew national attention. The Berkeley Unified School District board revoked its charter in June 2019 and the school closed.

This is an independent archive maintained at the school's former web address so that the many links published to it — by local and national press, education directories, and design publications — continue to resolve to an explanation rather than to nothing.
