One of three small autonomous schools on the Castlement campus in Oakland, the Business and Information Technology School (CBIT) is the first converted high school in the NTHS Network. A small autonomous school, CBIT has an enrollment of 480 students in grades 9-12. Special emphasis will be given to the development of student's technical and analytical skills, with students in upper grades majoring in Business or Computer programming.

Working with BayCES, and major business partners which include Chevron Corporation, Shell Oil, Blankmeyer & Associates, and the Port of Oakland, the career theme for CBIT was developed to help students participate in the high-tech economy of the surrounding area. CBIT will provide students with role models and mentors from the professional IT workplace who will support them in visualizing and achieving success.

In addition to the business partners, CBIT is working to establish relations with regional colleges, including Mills, UC Berkeley, CSU Hayward, and Stanford.
