About Us

​Little Panda Scholars is a founder-led enrichment studio bringing thoughtfully curated, high-quality programs directly onto school campuses across Los Angeles. We partner with schools to deliver Mandarin, STEM, engineering, cultural arts, and creative technology programs that are academically grounded, developmentally appropriate, and deeply engaging.

Our model is simple — and powerful:

• Remove logistical friction for families.

• Raise the standard of on-campus enrichment.

• Create meaningful learning experiences children remember.

​

A More Elevated Approach to Afterschool

In West Los Angeles, families value substance. They seek enrichment that builds real skills. Little Panda Scholars designs programs with intention:

• Mandarin enrichment that strengthens conversational fluency

• Engineering labs that teach structural thinking

• Creative tech classes (LEGO, robotics, 3D design) that build problem-solving skills

• Cultural arts programming that deepens global awareness

​

Every program is filtered through a strategic lens:

• What skills does this build?

• What confidence does this unlock?

• How does this complement the school day?

• We are not a marketplace of random classes.

• We are a curated enrichment partner.

​

Original Curriculum. Built In-House.

In addition to partnering with expert instructors, Little Panda Scholars develops proprietary, one-of-a-kind curriculum designed specifically for today’s students. We don’t simply replicate what already exists — we design experiences. A signature example is our K-Pop Demon Hunters STEAM Academy — a fully developed program that blends:

• Pop culture storytelling

• Engineering design challenges

• Creative builds

• Mandarin language integration

​

This kind of cross-disciplinary innovation reflects our belief that modern education should be immersive, culturally relevant, and hands-on.

By developing original programming, we are able to:

• Customize curriculum to each school community

• Align with campus goals

• Respond quickly to student interests

• Maintain high creative standards

​

We treat curriculum as intellectual property — carefully designed, refined, and elevated over time. Due to the hands-on nature of our programs and our commitment to small group instruction, enrollment is intentionally limited, and many sessions fill quickly.

​

Little Panda Scholars is an approved LAUSD vendor and proudly serves both public and private schools throughout Los Angeles County.

​

We collaborate closely with administrators, PTA leaders, and educators to ensure:

​

We operate with the professionalism of a district partner and the care of a parent-founded organization.​​

​

Our Philosophy

We believe enrichment should:

✔ Build meaningful skills
