Objective

About Us

Esperanza College Prep School is a new charter high school powered by Ednovate from USC that opened in August of 2017 in the East Los Angeles community. Our mission is to create a school that will empower our graduates to use their college degrees and careers to make a positive multigenerational change. Through our unique approach of building college-ready mindsets, personalizing learning with technology and instilling a deep sense of purpose in our students, we will change the educational and life outcomes of nearly 500 students from the Eastside of Los Angeles. Our innovative approach to teaching and learning allows students to learn at their own pace - accessing curricula through digital platforms - and places teachers in the most impactful learning moments - in small-groups, coaching and one-on-one. Redesigning the high school model requires that staff members be willing to respond to feedback and data in real-time, reflect constantly on the impact of their actions and not take themselves too seriously.
