Our journey began as a response to the needs of Black and Brown students in Oakland who weren't fully engaged with traditional education. We started with a first ofbits kind HipHop Education curriculum designed for Kindergarten students at Prescott Elementary School in West Oakland. Since then, we've grown into a comprehensive PreK-5 standards-based curriculum.

HipHop Scholastics is more than just curriculum. We offer a unique approach that equips teachers, principals, and school staff with the mindset and tools needed to integrate HipHop and HipHop culture into classrooms. Our aim is to create school environments that affirm and validate students and their families.
