Who are we:We are a K-12 Charter organization of 4 small public schools.  We aim to provide scholars in the Los Angeles community with the highest quality instructional standards based program centered on values that are deeply rooted in serving them on a daily basis.  Our schools are as follows: 
Downtown Value School, serving K-8th Grade; Everest Value School, serving K-8th Grade; Central City Value High School, serving 9th-12th Grade; and University Prep Value High School, serving 9th-12 Grade.
Our Mission:The Value Schools mission is to establish and support high quality, values based elementary and secondary charter schools for populations of students who have been historically underserved by the public school system.
How we do our work:
  • Small school settings: Value Schools knows that strong, positive relationships are key to student success. That happens best in places "where everybody knows your name" and nobody slips through the cracks.
  • Vibrant campus life: Value Schools students are encouraged to develop their interests in a wide variety of areas. Opportunities for enrichment, physical activity, leadership and service are provided on every Value Schools campus.
  • Student-centered curriculum using research-based materials: A standards-based curriculum focuses on what students know, not what teachers teach. Student-focused learning ensures teachers provide learning activities and tasks suited to individual needs.
  • Dedicated and enthusiastic parents: Our parents are an integral part of our campus life. Through their involvement, parents develop an extended community that enriches not only the life of the school, but the lives of families as well.
  • Highly trained and committed educators: Professional collaboration is the key to improving teaching skills. Our teachers are dedicated to working together to become exceptional educators.

Our Values:
  • Academic excellence is the means to a full life: Academic success helps every person live a richer and fuller life.  As an educator  we will continue to grow professionally to better support our students and their academic success. 
  • Each student can develop to his or her fullest potential: Everyone can learn, and even though not everyone's the same type of learner, as educators we will support them in growing to their fullest potential. 
  • Each individual is unique and deserves respect:  Each individual is unique and deserves respect.  By respecting our differences we afford each other with the opportunity to pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These rights accord each with dignity that is to be respected by all. As educators we will respect and honor the diversity of all persons. Honoring each person’s culture, backgrounds and gender identities by providing an equitable and inclusive education.
  • A safe, nurturing community: In a community, everyone belongs and feels valued by the others. In community, each feels secure and is supported in efforts to grow and thrive. in every way.  A safe community is created by respecting each other's diversity.  We strive as educators to ensure that all students feel valued, this will allow them to succeed in all classroom spaces. 
  • Service to others and the community: Talents and abilities perfected through an education need to be used to make a better world for all. As educators we strive to do more than working as individuals, as the community is greater than the individuals working in them. 

Who are you:We are looking for educators who are passionate about urban education and serving students throughout the Los Angeles area.  We want to ensure all educators are highly trained, skilled and qualified to serve students who are traditionally underserved.   We seek educators who are values aligned and mission driven to support diverse learners.  We want to ensure all educators are collaborative, open to feedback, reflective and open to growing within their own profession.
