About
Navigator Charter Schools in California have established a notable legacy of educational innovation and excellence. The network started with Gilroy Prep in 2011, followed by Hollister Prep in 2013. Both schools aimed to provide high-quality education to students from diverse backgrounds, focusing on eliminating the achievement gap through personalized learning and data-driven instruction.
Gilroy Prep, the flagship campus, pioneered the "Squads Model," an innovative student-led approach inspired by modern workplaces like Google and NASA. This model emphasizes teamwork, empathy, and collective responsibility, allowing students to master content collaboratively before progressing (Navigator Schools) (Navigator Schools).
Hollister Prep continued this tradition, creating a culture of high expectations and effective instructional strategies. The school focuses on providing high-quality education to vulnerable students, ensuring equitable access to learning opportunities and fostering a strong sense of community (Navigator Schools).
Hayward Collegiate, founded in 2018 and later joining Navigator Schools in 2020, further expanded the network's reach. The school quickly established a reputation for academic excellence and positive culture, serving over 300 students in transitional kindergarten through sixth grade (Navigator Schools).
Overall, Navigator Schools serve over 2,200 TK-8 students across their campuses, continuously innovating and improving educational outcomes for all students, regardless of their circumstances
