Scholarship Prep Public Schools

Led by former California Senator Gloria Romero and long time educator and charter school operator Jason Watts, Scholarship Prep is a transitional kindergarten through eighth grade, comprehensive public charter school system, with sites in Orange County (Santa Ana) and San Diego County (Oceanside). Our organization has a data-driven emphasis on making a dramatic and sustainable impact on all students, particularly those most underserved. Utilizing a university-inspired physical environment and college scholarship concept, our students will understand that by achieving academic, arts, and/or athletic excellence, a broader array of possibilities and options will exist for future endeavors in higher education, thus our motto, “Reach higher. Dream bigger.” At Scholarship Prep, academics are the #1 priority. However, the ability to pursue arts and/or athletic endeavors in order to one day earn a college scholarship is an essential imperative. Our academic program incorporates the best practices of Project-Based Learning in order to maximize instructional rigor, garner student student interest, and ensure master of standards. Our robust arts and athletics program offerings allow our students to grow their innate talents and pursue their interests during the school day from trained experts, all at no charge to the student or their family.
