The proven Science, Technology, Engineering and Math school curriculum is made even stronger at Esencia School with the addition of the Arts. This gives students a well-rounded education that's not only future-proof, but supports a wide range of talents and interests, setting each child on their own unique path to a successful and rewarding life.
Instead of a traditional library, the heart of Esencia School is the cutting-edge Innovation Center, for hands-on learning and collaboration. Equipped with a robotics lab, makerspace, wireless technology and flexible seating, this unique space is designed for a progressive and inspiring education, no matter the subject or age.
Esencia School is located just a short walk or bike ride from every neighborhood in the Village of Esencia, with ample parking for those who prefer to drive.
And for older Ranch kids, the academically acclaimed Tesoro High School and Las Flores Middle School are also just minutes away.
"We really spent our time on finding ways that students can be innovative, and helping them reach their maximum potential."
