Careers At Ednovate, Inc.

Current job opportunities are posted here as they become available.

Join a dedicated team that fosters autonomy and creativity, while receiving a competitive salary, opportunities for career and personal growth, and the gratification that comes from creating positive multi-generational change.

Ednovate Background

Ednovate launched its first school in 2012. Since then, we’ve grown to eight schools and are on a trajectory to reach 11 schools in just the next few years (you can read more about our schools here ). Ednovate is committed to serving areas where students traditionally lack access to a quality college-prep education by building tuition-free, safe, high-performing public schools driven to create positive multi-generational change.

We are made up of world travelers, nacho connoisseurs, KPOP business owners, and Beyonce fans. We love LA and OC, and we're our students' biggest cheerleaders. We are looking to hire innovative changemakers who aim to continue our goal of becoming the high school experts across Southern California. Sound like you? Keep reading.

Position Overview

As a Science Teacher, you will drive exceptional student learning, ensuring all meet or exceed ambitious standards for academic and social-emotional growth and achievement.

Build transformative relationships with students. Through your advisory, mentor a group of students throughout their high school experience. Support advisees in meeting yearly promotion requirements through guided reflection and one-on-one conferences.

Create and maintain a caring and accountable student culture. Establish clear, consistent, logical class structures, routines, and expectations aligned with our student culture model. Foster a sense of community through relationship-building among students. Hold consistently high expectations for all students and support students to meet them. Create a sense of urgency, optimism, and engagement amongst students.

Contribute positively to the team. Build positive relationships with your teammates. Lean into your vulnerability as a means of building trust. Actively engage in difficult conversations and debate to ensure the best ideas surface. Drive for clarity in decision making. Seek, implement, and offer feedback necessary for individual and team growth. Commit to collective results.
