## About Equitas Academy Charter Schools

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: A network of free public charter schools in Los Angeles that prepares TK–8 students (and is expanding into high school) for college and life through structured, achievement-based learning and strong family partnerships.
- **Entity Type**: Private nonprofit — registered 501(c)(3) charter school network; not publicly traded
- **Headquarters**: Los Angeles, California, USA (1700 West Pico Boulevard)
- **Founded**: 2009
- **Founders**: Not publicly identified in available sources

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Education / Charter schools (Elementary and Secondary, TK–12)
- **Target customers**: B2C — families and students in the Pico-Union and greater Los Angeles communities seeking a free, high-performing public school option (predominantly serving Hispanic/Latino families; 97.6% of students identify as Hispanic/Latino)
- **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.
- **Extended School Day & Year**: An extended academic calendar filled with both core instruction and enrichment activities designed to prepare students for higher education and careers.
- **Equitas High School (new)**: Positions posted for the '26–'27 school year indicate expansion into high school grades with teachers for secondary math, English, physical education, and visual arts.
- **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).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not applicable (nonprofit organization)
- **Key Metric**: Total revenues of **$50,836,462** and total expenses of **$46,304,209** (most recent reported fiscal year, per IRS Form 990 data); total assets reported at **$116,166,280**
- **Notable Investors/Partners**:
  - Charter School Growth Fund (CSGF) — granted $250,000 for capacity-building and $207,000 for Impact and Innovation (2024)
  - Ralph M. Parsons Foundation — $100,000 for general support of education and enrichment programs
  - Loyola Marymount University (LMU) — teacher credentialing partner for the Avance Residency
- **Growth Signals**: Expanded from 3 schools (serving 1,000+ students) to **6 charter schools serving over 2,100 students**; currently recruiting for high school teaching positions and new assistant principal roles for the '26–'27 school year; recognized as a California Distinguished School and Blue Ribbon School by the California Department of Education.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Proven track record**: Recognized as a California Distinguished School and Blue Ribbon School, with **81% of eligible alumni enrolled in college programs**.
- **Data-driven instruction**: A rigorous, data-driven instructional model to deliver meaningful, equitable outcomes.
- **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.
- **Transparent compensation**: Public salary scales with annual increases; teachers are incentivized to earn full credentials via a separate, higher compensation track.
- **Extended learning model**: Longer school day and year compared to traditional district schools, maximizing instructional and enrichment time.

## Strategic Focus
- **Grade-level expansion**: Continuing growth from TK–8 into high school grades for the 2026–27 school year and beyond.
- **Teacher pipeline development**: Scaling the Avance paid residency program to build a steady stream of credentialed, mission-aligned teachers (applications open by 1/31 for the '26–'27 cohort).
- **Academic enrichment & college readiness**: Sustaining the dual emphasis on rigorous academics and enrichment (dance, PE, visual arts, etc.) to prepare scholars for college and career success.
- **Leadership development**: Recruiting assistant principals focused on instruction and on school culture/restorative justice — signaling investment in school-site leadership infrastructure.

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-driven environment**: Staff work in a supportive, college-focused community where school values center on joy, community, belonging, advocacy, and growth.
- **Career growth & pay transparency**: Equitas states that employees who stay improve every year and receive annual compensation increases; salary scales are published publicly.
- **Paid credential pathway**: The Avance Residency offers a year-long, paid route to a teaching credential from LMU — an attractive option for aspiring teachers (B.A. required).
- **Competitive incentives**: Some roles offer signing bonuses (e.g., Math Teacher — Middle School: $3,000 signing bonus for immediate start).
- **Diverse hiring needs**: Open roles span teaching (elementary, secondary, special education, PE, enrichment), operations management, school safety, instructional aides, and school leadership — making it accessible to both credentialed educators and non-instructional candidates.
- **On-site culture**: All current roles are on-site in Los Angeles; the organization emphasizes a safe, supportive, and joyful school community.
- **Nonprofit impact**: Working at a 501(c)(3) may offer public service loan forgiveness (PSLF) eligibility for qualifying staff.
