The overall goal is to identify and exploit each student’s maximum capacity for growth and develop the “Rancho 5” in every student: success, respect, consideration, responsibility, and politeness. The arts are also a big part of the Rancho Solano enriching experience for all students both during and after school.

Location
Rancho Solano Schools are spread out over 5 different campuses. The prep school has its own campus located in Glendale Arizona just 20 minutes away from downtown Phoenix. Phoenix is the capital of Arizona and the city with the biggest population in the state. Educatius has been active in Arizona for a long time and many students have attended very successful programs at our partner schools. The reason is of course great schools but we believe the 325 days of sunshine every year may have something to do with it as well!
