Navigator Schools

Navigator Schools, operating as Watsonville Prep School, is a non-profit organization registered to receive federal grant awards. As a corporate entity with tax-exempt status, Navigator Schools primarily focuses on providing educational services and programs. The organization has been registered in SAM.gov since August 2, 2018, with its current registration set to expire on February 12, 2025. Navigator Schools specializes in delivering educational support and services to students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds or with limited English proficiency. Through federal grant sub-awards, the organization has been actively involved in programs aimed at improving educational outcomes for specific student populations.

Navigator Schools has received multiple federal grant sub-awards from the Department of Education California, focusing on two primary areas. The first area involves initiatives to help ensure that limited English proficient children, including immigrant children and youth, attain English proficiency and meet challenging state academic content and student achievement standards. This work is supported through sub-awards under grant IDs T365A24000520241434624C2032XGXKF5HCHXJ5 and S365A23000520231434623C2032XGXKF5HCHXJ5. The second area of focus, supported by sub-award S010A23000520231432923C2032XGXKF5HCHXJ5, involves programs designed to help local educational agencies improve teaching and learning in high-poverty schools. This initiative particularly targets children who are failing or most at-risk of failing to meet challenging state academic achievement standards. These sub-awards demonstrate Navigator Schools' crucial role in implementing federally funded educational programs at the local level, addressing educational disparities and supporting students with diverse needs.
