School Overview

Tucked into the high desert community of Apple Valley, Rio Vista School of Applied Learning brings a hands-on, project-based approach to elementary education that tends to appeal to families who want learning to feel purposeful and connected to the real world. Apple Valley itself is a sprawling inland community with wide-open spaces, affordable neighborhoods, and a tight-knit feel that's a world away from the congestion of the greater LA Basin. Families drawn to an active school community with an emphasis on applied skills — rather than just test prep — may find Rio Vista a good fit, particularly if they're already rooting themselves in this part of the High Desert.
