2026-2027 Open Enrollment Begins December 1st - Start Your Scholar’s Journey!

The wait is almost over. Enrollment for the 2026–27 school year opens December 1, and families can now take the first step toward joining a TK–8 community built on opportunity, support, and a college-inspired vision for every Scholar.

Scholarship Prep is a free public charter school serving families in Santa Ana, Oceanside, Wilmington, Riverside, and Upland. Here, Scholars grow through a combination of strong academics, arts and athletics programs, and a campus culture that helps students feel confident and motivated throughout their TK-8 years.

All applications submitted by December 1 will be included in our enrollment lottery on December 2. Enrollment will remain open after the lottery until seats are filled.
