8th graders, the night was yours!

Some of you have been Stingray Scholar “Lifers” since kindergarten and we have watched you grow up in these hallways. But whether you joined this community in 2018 or just this year, Scholarship Prep has shaped you the same way: take care of yourself, take care of others, take care of Scholarship Prep.

Tonight, that message gets a little louder. You are now ready to Lead with Love in your community!

Congratulations to the Scholarship Prep Orange County 8th Grade Class of 2026. We know you’ll show high school that you’re built different.

Stingray Scholars, you did it!

You learned your letters, sounded out your first words, counted, shared, and learned how to be a good friend all school year long.

Tonight, you walked across the promotion stage in front of your families, friends, and your Scholarship Prep teachers, and we could not be more proud!

Congratulations to the promoting kindergarten class of 2026. First grade is waiting, and you are more than ready.

Our Scholarship Prep Orange County Tk-3rd grade Scholars and staff gathered in the courtyard this week to release more than just balloons.

Each one carried something written down: a worry, a fear, a burden they were ready to let go of. Then, together, they let them go.

It was a simple act, led by School Counselor Ms. Rodriguez, that marked the end of Mental Health Awareness Month and reminded our students that they are part of a safe and supportive community. That no one has to carry their struggles alone.

This is not just something we say at Scholarship Prep. It's something we practice, classroom by classroom, day by day.

(PS: We care about the planet too... these balloons were biodegradable.)

Two campuses. One stage. The Scholarship Prep Orange County and South Bay Jazz Bands brought it all to The Mint in Los Angeles alongside jazz bands from eight schools across Southern California.

Before the big night, our South Bay and OC Scholars came together for a joint rehearsal, played for each other, pushed each other, and walked away teaching each other new techniques. That camaraderie carried straight into the showcase.

At our Santa Ana campus, Jazz Empowers offers bucket drumming and piano for elementary Scholars and jazz band for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, all as part of the free Scholarship Prep experience.

Three years with Jazz Empowers, and this was our most exciting showcase yet! We are so proud of our Scholars. Don’t miss their final performance of the year, May 26th at the 17th St. campus beginning at 4:45 PM 🎷🥁🎹

Promotion season is here at Scholarship Prep Orange County!

Kindergarten families arrived on campus recently to pick up caps, gowns, and invitations before heading to the courtyard for our third annual breakfast.

The amazing meal from Revolution Foods and generous donations from our families made our time together even more special. We are so thankful you are part of our Stingray community and for this opportunity to reflect on the school year before the end-of-year excitement really kicks in. It was a chance to slow down, look around, and take in how far we have all come since August.

Fridays at Scholarship Prep Orange County mean one thing: Lunch Bunch is in session, and our 2nd graders are running the kitchen.

🥟 🥬 🫕 Recently, our Scholar chefs took on gyozas. Students prepped their own vegetable and tofu filling, mixed a soy dipping sauce from scratch, and folded and sealed each dumpling by hand. Their Lunch Bunch instructor handled the hot pan, and by the time our Scholars came back from lunch, a fresh batch of golden gyozas was waiting for them.

Through our partnership with , Scholars build real culinary skills, develop teamwork and leadership, and learn what it takes to prepare nutritious meals from scratch. They are not just learning to cook. They are developing the creative thinking and entrepreneurial mindset that will serve them well beyond the kitchen.

🧑🏽‍🍳 👩🏽‍🍳 Future chefs in training. We are so here for it.

At Scholarship Prep Orange County, STEM isn’t something Scholars read about… it’s something they do. 🔬🧪

Every Friday, our Scholars spend dedicated time asking questions, designing solutions, and testing ideas that sometimes fail spectacularly before they succeed. 🚀🪐

Last week, our families got a front-row seat to that process during our annual STEM Open House. Scholars walked their special guests through experiments, demonstrated prototypes, and explained their engineering process with confidence. They weren’t just displaying projects; they were running the labs! 🛠️🤖

This is what hands-on learning looks like at Scholarship Prep, and we love welcoming our families on our campus to see it in action.

Lights. Pizza. Action. 🎬🍕

Last night, Scholarship Prep Stingray families gathered at our 17th Street campus for a free outdoor screening of Zootopia 2 under the stars, and it was the perfect way to spend a Thursday evening together.

A huge thank you to our School Operations Managers, Mrs. Roldan and Mrs. Prado, for planning a night our Stingray community will not forget. Moments like these are part of what make Scholarship Prep more than a school. It's a place where Scholars and families truly belong.
