Our Team
Our team is made up of dedicated professionals who believe in the potential of every student.
We believe in every student.
Ednovate schools are made special by the connection between our educators and our students. That connection is built by the belief that our team shows in every single student, and the personalized support and guidance that backs it up. Our team stands out for the way we lift up every student — not just to the graduation stage, but to college acceptance and completion.
We value the connection and belief that makes the difference for first-generation college-goers. We know there’s no greater contribution, no more joyful reward than bringing out the academic promise and overall confidence in the students we educate and prepare for success in college and in life. Our team is bound together by our mission of Positive Multigenerational Change. It makes us a family of educators, lifting our students and their families to a great future.
