## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Education / Charter schools (Elementary and Secondary, TK–12)

- **Mission**: "To provide a structured, achievement-based community that prepares students ('scholars') to graduate from college-preparatory high schools, four-year colleges, and universities."

## Products & Services
- **Equitas Elementary & Middle Schools**: Free, public charter schools serving TK–8th grade with a structured, college-focused curriculum, school uniforms, and a school-wide behavioral code of conduct.

- **Avance Teacher Residency**: A year-long, paid residency program in partnership with Loyola Marymount University (LMU) that allows residents to earn a teaching credential while learning alongside an Equitas mentor teacher.
- **Family & Community Programming**: Family workshops, community events, and deep parent partnership structures (including a dedicated "traffic ambassador" for community feedback).

- **Strong community trust**: Deep partnership with families in a tight-knit, predominantly Latino community; 38% of scholars are Emergent Bilingual students, and the model is built around equity and inclusion.
