Feel the excitement for learning . . . Feel the sense of community

Rancho Solano Private Schools offer college-preparatory preschool through high school education. We provide an accelerated curriculum at five campuses throughout the valley. Since 1954, we have offered exceptional academics in a safe and supportive atmosphere. Our students are a community of learners who are responsible, respectful, considerate and successful.

Much of the true value of a Rancho Solano education lies in the intangibles. A quality education teaches students to be critical thinkers, principled leaders and ethical, world citizens. Students also challenge themselves in the arts and athletics, as well as community service and extracurricular activities. They uncover hidden talents and develop a passion for learning.


Rancho Solano is accredited (NIPSA, AdvancED) and offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and a college-preparatory, independent-school education.  It is a Meritas school serving families in the Phoenix metropolitan area.

School Reviews:

  • Recommended December 11,2012 - I sent my duaghter here for PK3. We had to move out of state at the end of the school year or we would still be there. The teachers are awesome and very caring. The curriculum is fantastic. I do not have a single complaint about this school. Well, maybe the cost. But trust me it is worth it. :)*-Posted by Parent *
  • Recommended October 06,2012 - We have been there for eight years and are thrilled about the way our son has developed. The academics and extracurricular activities are exceptional. The faculty and staff is responsive to the needs of students and parents.*-Posted by Parent *
