Character Education
Hero
Shaping Future GAMECHANGERS
At Scholarship Prep Oceanside, we know that education goes beyond academics. As an award-winning TK-8th grade charter school in Southern California, we are dedicated to developing not just great students but great individuals.
Through the Wooden Awards Program, inspired by the renowned Pyramid of Success by UCLA basketball legend John Wooden, we create a learning environment where character truly counts.
Building Character Through CORE TRAITS
Each month, Scholarship Prep focuses on a key character trait from the Pyramid of Success that helps elementary and middle school students grow into confident and compassionate leaders. The traits we emphasize include:
Team Spirit
Being eager to help my team by any means possible.
Friendship
Making friends and working to be a friend to others.
Initiative
Making decisions and knowing it’s okay to fail because I can learn from it!
Self-Control
Having the power to control myself, my actions, and my feelings.
Action
Acting quickly but never hurrying.
Adaptability
Being flexible and adjusting to new situations.
Cooperation
Looking for the best way to solve a problem, not just my way.
Integrity
Choosing courage and what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy.
Honesty
Being truthful, trustworthy, and honorable.
Confidence
Believing in myself so others can believe in me too.
Through this unique program, our Scholars gain the tools they need to navigate challenges, collaborate with others, and thrive both in and out of the classroom.
Monthly Wooden Awards
To celebrate student growth and inspire others, we recognize students from each classroom every month who best exemplify the featured character trait. These Wooden Awards spotlight students who go above and beyond to make a difference on campus.
In Partnership With: Harper for Kids
