The mission of Scholar System is to empower students and professionals with innovative, dynamic, and systematic college readiness, life skills and professional learning solutions. Grounded in Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), Community Empowerment, and Dr. Rios’ Masbloom model of balancing high rigor with high emotional support. We strive to cultivate transformative growth, resilience, and success in every individual we serve.
Teams collaborate to identify, question, and challenge personal mindsets and systemic barriers hindering equity.
All sessions provide a variety of engaging teaching tools and strategies for immediate classroom application.
Solidly grounded in current research, each session employs best practices for adult learners as well as for students.
Sessions relentlessly return to student impact and the power of adult behaviors, beliefs, and actions in influencing student trajectories.
“Dr. Rios and his Scholar System team have provided Napa Valley Unified School District exceptional training on equity, student empowerment and engagement, team building, and classroom strategies. Scholar System has provided our administrators and teachers ongoing, sustainable training and support that is helping us move forward in our work to promote prosperity for all students.”
– Dr. Rosanna Mucetti
Superintendent, Napa Valley Unified School District
The Scholar System team employs a unique model of professional learning. This framework of Inspiration, Application, and Connection allows educators to engage
with proven practices for transforming school cultures and student lives.
Our three pillars are woven seamlessly throughout each session, melding hearts,
minds, and action– just as we would want our students to experience in classrooms.
We utilize research-based best practices, decades of expertise, and powerful testimonies of life experience to support you in creating a culture of prosperity within your system.
Creating Systems of Prosperity begins with understanding the transformative power adults hold in impacting student lives. We inspire, refocus, and center educators around their purpose.
Change only happens when classroom practice shifts. As a result, our sessions deliver a wealth of practical, teacher-tested best practices for educators to implement in classrooms immediately.
Educators learn how to build and sustain positive relationships with students and families as they strengthen their own connections among colleagues.

A note from Dr. Victor Rios
I was a high school drop-out and juvenile delinquent. But one of my teachers, Ms. Russ, believed in me so much, she tricked me into believing in myself. Because of an educator that helped me redefine my life from survivor to thriver, I attended college, graduated with a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, gave a Ted Talk (with over 1.7 million views), and even advised the Obama Administration on gun violence and policing in America. I have written 9 books and conducted two decades of research asking a simple question: What unique traits or strategies allow individuals who face extreme adversity to not only overcome their challenges but also achieve success?
I founded Scholar System to share my research findings with everyday people, helping them realize their full potential.
“The wound is the place where the light gets in” -Rumi
I also founded Scholar System to provide educators with the tools to ensure all students–including our most vulnerable–thrive. Together, we can create Systems of Prosperity that honor student strengths and stories, synchronize high expectations with high support, and ultimately transform the lives of our at-promise populations.
We believe student success relies on the commitment and collaboration of all adults in
the system. Because of this, Scholar System provides programs to support your entire community of educators.
