Scholarship Prep Public Charter School is thrilled to announce the approval of a countywide TK-12th grade charter by the San Bernardino County Board of Education trustees. This momentous decision paves the way for our award-winning academic, arts, and athletics program to extend its reach and serve the diverse communities of San Bernardino County.

“Having grown up in San Bernardino County (Ontario), I have always sought the opportunity to give back to the community where I was raised. The approval of Scholarship Prep's charter school program makes that opportunity a reality. Our exceptional educational program and comprehensive wraparound supports will provide students with new opportunities to reach their maximum potential in our collegiate-inspired environment. I look forward to partnering with the San Bernardino County Department of Education to see the next generation reaching higher and dreaming bigger!” - Jason Watts, Executive Director and Co-founder of Scholarship Prep
