Our Oceanside Sharks hit it out of the park yesterday, watching the San Diego Padres defeat the Oakland Athletics with a walk-off home run! Over 130 students and 40 adults from the Scholarship Prep Oceanside community were there to catch the action at Petco Park. But that’s just one highlight of our incredible summer session. From creative arts and STEM projects to athletic activities and field trips, our Sharks have been diving into fun, educational, and enriching programming on campus and off. Best of all, this program is FREE for our enrolled students! Our winter, spring, and summer intercessions serve as a vital support system for families who might not otherwise have access to childcare during school breaks. Each campus offers students a caring, supervised environment, including breakfast, lunch, and snacks, to give families peace of mind. We’re so thankful for all the memories and friendships made this summer and our staff who stepped up to the plate to make it possible. #ScholarshipPrep #CharterSchool #Oceanside #SummerSession #GoSharks #PadresWin #SummerFun #SummerEnrichment

Encore! Encore for the magical nights at the historic Star Theatre in Oceanside! Our talented Scholars, led by the incredible Mr. Kenneth Shaver, brought Disney's Aladdin Jr. to life in three unforgettable performances. Throughout the second semester, our drama students worked tirelessly in their after-school program, perfecting every line, note, and dance move. The result? A show that earned standing ovations and captured the hearts of our community! We are so proud of our cast and crew for their dedication and hard work. At Scholarship Prep, we believe in the power of the Arts to inspire and educate. Our elective classes and after-school programs offer our TK-8th grade students opportunities to shine and grow. This production was a testament to the creativity and talent of our amazing Scholars. Bravo! #ScholarshipPrep #CharterSchool #Oceanside #Oceansidecalifornia #AladdinJr #DramaProgram #ArtsInEducation #StarTheatre #CommunityPride #StudentSuccess

We'd like to introduce you to Chick-fil-A and Chicky Minaj, two of the chicks who hatched in Mrs. Frey's 5th-grade classroom at Scholarship Prep Orange County. Over 21 days, Scholars watched over 12 eggs, turning them twice daily just like a mother hen. Their attentive care led to the successful hatching of 9 adorable chicks, a remarkable achievement since even hatching three is considered a success! Throughout this project, students engaged in critical thinking and scientific observation. They tracked egg changes, filled out notice/wonder forms, and made detailed sketches. Not only did this project enrich our curriculum, but it built a sense of responsibility and teamwork among our students. #HandsOnLearning #STEMEducation #FutureScientists #ScholarshipPrep #SantaAna #CharterSchool #Curiosity #EducationForAll

At Scholarship Prep, we are dedicated to nurturing every aspect of our students' growth, including their artistic abilities. This spring, our inspirational 7th and 8th-grade South Bay teacher, Mr. Steven Abonal, took the initiative to host a middle school art contest, providing students with a platform to showcase their creativity and artistic talent. Mr. Abonal, who has a history of organizing art contests at his previous schools, was inspired by the success of the writing contests held at Scholarship Prep. He thought, "Why not an art contest, too?" The enthusiasm from the students was evident, with many dedicating their recess and lunch breaks to craft their entries. Art education plays a vital role in our program by encouraging creativity, boosting self-confidence, and enhancing academic performance. It also promotes cultural awareness and provides students with a valuable emotional outlet. Join us in celebrating our young artists and the wonderful benefits of art education! #ScholarshipPrep #Wilmington #SouthBay #CharterSchool #ArtContest #MiddleSchoolArt #StudentArtists #ArtEducation #CreativityInAction

It’s never too early to begin learning about the wonderful world of STEM! Recently, our youngest South Bay Scholars had an opportunity to explore natural phenomena through hands-on experiments with Ms. Garcia. Our Kinder scientists discovered chemical reactions by making groovy lava lamps! It was peace, love, and many smiles with this lab. Second graders learned about rainfall by placing water droplets over shaving cream, mimicking how clouds release rain when they become too heavy. These experiments are fun and help reinforce scientific concepts in young minds and spark their interest in the world of science. Engaging with STEM from TK to 8th grade develops critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity, preparing our students for a bright future in any field they choose! #ScholarshipPrep #CharterSchool #Wilmington #SouthBay #STEMEducation #CommunitySpirit #InspiringFutureScientists #EarlySTEM #HandsOnLearning #FutureEngineers #STEMKids #EducationMatters #STEMForAll
