HARRIET TUBMAN VILLAGE CHARTER SCHOOL INC

What HARRIET TUBMAN VILLAGE CHARTER SCHOOL INC does

Harriet Tubman Village Charter School Inc is a tuition-free, public TK-8 charter school operating from a single campus at 6880 Mohawk Street in the College-Rolando neighborhood of San Diego, California. The school was founded in 1993 and is authorized through the San Diego County Office of Education. It serves transitional-kindergarten through eighth-grade students and their families in the surrounding community, with stated class-size caps of 24 students. Instructional and character-development programs include Universal Transitional Kindergarten (UTK), the Leader in Me framework, athletics (football, basketball, volleyball, cheerleading), Power Boxing, Manhood ABC, and STEAMbassadors, alongside mental-health and wraparound services delivered through external partners.

The school's core technology stack is a conventional K-8 edtech portfolio: PowerSchool for the student information system, Clever for single sign-on, iReady for adaptive diagnostic assessment, BrainPop, Google Classroom, Envision Math, Mystery Science, and Class Dojo for instruction and family communication, with Edlio powering the public website. Community presence is maintained through Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter. There is no proprietary platform; technology serves instructional delivery and operational administration rather than product revenue.

The business model is a non-profit public charter funded primarily through California's Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF), which provides per-pupil revenue tied to Average Daily Attendance, supplemented by Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) grants. There is no tuition and no equity financing; the school has no revenue customers in the commercial sense, and its financial scale is a direct function of authorized enrollment and state appropriations. Strategic emphasis is on whole-child development, leadership curriculum, and competitive athletics rather than on scale or commercial product expansion.
