Learning close to home
Growing minds and bright futures at Rye Ranch®
At Rye Ranch®, we believe the best kind of future is the kind you can walk to. That’s why we’re proud to share that a brand-new elementary school is rising right here, woven into the fabric of our trails, porches, and everyday routines. It’s more than a school. It’s a promise fulfilled for the families who will grow up here—and grow together.
Opening for the 2026–2027 school year, Rye Ranch Elementary will serve Kindergarten through 5th-grade students. Beyond its curriculum and classrooms, it will offer something far more rare: the gift of a childhood rooted in place.
Restoring childhood traditions
In a world of long commutes and carpool lines, this school brings back something many thought was gone for good: the simple joy of walking to school.
Here, your morning might begin with the scent of orange blossoms in the air, your child’s backpack bouncing as you stroll past neighbors waving from their porches. After the bell rings, the walk home leads right back to the heart of family life—where stories are shared, play begins, and dinner simmers just steps away.
This is how childhood used to feel—carefree, familiar, full of promise—and it’s all coming back at Rye Ranch.
Start every day with a journey through local history
The new school will be located near the future Rye Ranch Heritage Trail, a scenic and story-filled pathway that winds through the heart of the community and connects homes to school, recreation, amenities, and a future town center. Along this trail, art, history, and local lore will come to life—and now, learning joins the journey.
As children walk to class or wander home, they’ll pass places that speak to the land’s rich past, from quilting bees and farming days to the stories that shaped generations. It’s a daily reminder that they’re not just attending school; they’re becoming part of something larger, something lasting.
Rooted in community
Built for tomorrow
Nestled on an 18-acre site within Rye Ranch, the new elementary school reflects the spirit of this place: thoughtful, forward-looking, and deeply connected. With future-ready classrooms, creative spaces, and an environment designed for hands-on discovery, the school will be a hub for both learning and community.
It’s not just convenient. It’s foundational—a place that gives every child the chance to thrive close to home and every parent the peace of knowing their village is truly within reach.
