Ednovate Background

Ednovate launched its first school, USC Hybrid High, a personalized learning high school, in 2012.

Ednovate is committed to serving in areas where students traditionally lack access to a quality college prep education by building tuition-free, safe, and high-performing public schools to serve neighborhoods that need it the most.
