Ednovate’s CEO, Oliver Sicat, celebrates Ednovate’s accomplishments and share the 2023 Annual Report.

Ednovate Charter Schools CEO, Oliver Sicat, shares his reflections on the first month of the 23-24 school year.

Ednovate, a network of innovative public charter schools, has partnered again with the University of Southern California (USC) Rossier School of Education to establish a groundbreaking teacher training residency program. This program, which will be called the USC Ednovate Teaching Fellows program, is supported in part by a $250,000 grant from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

1 Year of 100% Virtual Learning. Still 95% attendance and 85% of students passing all classes. What stuck and what we changed. We’ve learned a lot over the last 12 months, and I want to share some of the practices that stuck and key adjustments that we made.

The health and safety of our community come first, and after listening to you and hundreds of our parents, students and staff, through surveys, focus groups, and conversations, along with the rising public health concerns in Southern California, we have decided all Ednovate schools will be 100% virtual for Quarter 1 of the upcoming school year (August 4th–October 9th).

With COVID-19 taking so many elements of our daily lives virtual, we know it’s more important than ever that our community is able to access resources quickly and easily. Whether you’re a student, family member, teacher, or team member who’s already a part of the Ednovate community, or you’re considering enrolling in a school or joining our team, we hope this new website will be a valuable resource.
