The Phoenix Ranch is a private independent school dedicated to academic excellence and the desire to meet the needs of each child. Since 1982, owners Frances Alascano and Amy Brown have dedicated their professional careers to the field of education and the creation of a unique and exceptional school.
We have gathered a team of dedicated teachers with appropriate credentials who share our vision of education. The curriculum and textbooks observable in all classrooms reflect the standards established by the State of California. Each teacher is responsible to be knowledgeable on grade level standards, and to challenge students to exceed all benchmarks. In addition to an excellent faculty, and the commitment to California State Standards, the Phoenix mandates small group teaching as the primary tool of effective instruction. In each classroom, students are arranged in homogeneous and heterogeneous groups to facilitate the teacher in meeting individual needs.
All students enjoy the enrichment program that the Phoenix Ranch School offers. Music classes are presented to all grades. Spanish and physical education classes for students in kindergarten through middle school are part of the core curriculum. A qualified teacher conducts each program, using quality materials and supplies. Our school facility includes comfortable and well-equipped classrooms (incorporating computer technology), a library, play equipment, basketball court, swimming pool, playing fields, outdoor lunch areas, and more.
Small group instruction within the classroom allows your child the necessary teacher interaction needed for success. Classroom size is limited to 12:1 in preschool, 20:1 in lower division (kindergarten through second grade), 22:1 (third through fifth grade) and 24:1 in middle school (sixth through eighth grade).
The Phoenix offers a myriad of programs to meet the needs of our students and families. Extended care hours assist working parents, and winter, spring, and summer day camps present families with wonderful options during times when school is out of session. Lunch and snacks are provided for students in preschool and an option to purchase lunch is available for all students in kindergarten through eighth grade. After-school activities are abundant and include workshops and sports leagues, as well as participation in our school orchestra or choir.
The Phoenix Ranch Summer Day Camp is an outstanding program for children ages 5-13 years old. Well-supervised activities include go carting, sports, archery, crafts, ceramics, swimming and more. The American Camp Association accredits our summer camp.
Welcome to our school and camp!
