What Makes Phoenix Ranch School the Best Private School Campus in Simi Valley

At Phoenix Ranch School, families find a warm, traditional early education experience grounded in strong academics, nurturing relationships, and a caring community that feels like home. Our campus is bright, inviting, and thoughtfully designed so your baby, toddler, preschooler, or elementary student feels known, supported, and gently guided as they build confidence and curiosity.

Our school feels like family to our kids. From the counselors who look out for their safety & give them one on one heart felt attention, to the amazing teachers they’ve had who are in tune with their personalities, help them navigate through struggles, who are amazing mediators in challenging situations, and who give our kids love. We are forever grateful for the experience our children are benefiting from. Next I would say is the curriculum. Please do not change it. Learning cursive, being part of the hatching baby chics experience, and learning about bugs has been a hit with our kids. Our music program is amazing. Our son looks forward to band practice every week and he’s so proud to be a part of the group. Our Spanish, Technology and Art teachers are amazing. This is exposure that we value because we know public schools do not provide this. Tuition was not in the plans for us when we had our children. We were fortunate to enroll our children in the preschool side. We kept our oldest in TK at Phoenix Ranch to still have one drop off in the mornings. The plan was to transition to public school once the youngest one started Kindergarten. However, we fell in love with the play based learning our TK child experienced. Seeing his growth and everything the school had to offer, it was a happy decision to keep our boys in Phoenix Ranch. Our plan is to stay in Phoenix Ranch until middle school. We love it here!

Our teachers and our administration by far!! We love this school and have always considered it as an extension of our family. Our boys adore their teachers and each day they have something exciting to talk about. Our teachers at Phoenix Ranch have helped out our boys in time of need and have carried them during their personal growth struggles. I am forever grateful for that. Thank you to all the teachers and administrators throughout the years. Amazing school program.

The campus is beautiful. I love that you use the pool for the kiddos to learn to swim especially in summer. The tree in the yard is a special touch of nature. The bikes are AMAZING. The animals are great! All of those little details make for a well rounded school. Most of the teachers are sweet. I think my student’s teacher could have a bit more patience and kindness in the butterfly class. But I also believe it starts from the top. How those in admin and higher ups treat those below. It is usually reflected in their behavior and overall happiness, so I hope admin and those who run the school can treat their teachers with more special private events, free food, snacks and such.

My daughter is happy, I do wish things went back to how it was a few years ago. Miss Vickie was responsive, always was out in the field, knew who my daughter was. I am happy and have been very happy with her teachers and the teaching aid staff, I feel they really love my daughter and it makes me happy.
