About USC Hybrid High School

USC Hybrid High School (USC HHS) is an open-enrollment college preparatory charter high school located in Downtown Los Angeles. USC HHS serves 500 students grades 9-12. USC Hybrid High School's mission is to prepare students from traditionally underserved communities to use their talents, college degrees and careers to make a positive multigenerational change.

USC HHS combines a traditional "no excuses" model with an innovative teacher-driven blended learning model that embeds technology across the curriculum and throughout the school day. Students receive a truly personalized education, using a school-provided laptop to master Common Core/College and Career Readiness standards at their own pace. The goal of personalized learning is to increase the percentage of students who graduate from a four year college, allowing them to make a positive multigenerational change in their families, community, nation or world.

USC HHS is the first campus of Ednovate Schools, a 501(c)3 non-profit charter management organization. Ednovate will expand over time to operate multiple high-achieving public charter school campuses and set the bar for what is possible in a high school blended learning environment.
