At 360 Lakeside, you’ll find both independent and public K-8 charter options that allow your children to grow in a community rich with rural charm while earning a 21st Century education.
River Island Technology Academy: “We are college ready!”
Within walking distance from the homes at 360 Lakeside, you’ll find state-of-the-art schools like River Island Technology Academy (RiTechA), where students engage with learning as a lifelong process by gaining the skills and the character of 21st Century citizens. Technology is at the heart of the culture of RiTechA. Teachers blend new and old teaching approaches to ensure that students are adept communicators and collaborators who are as skilled with pen and paper as they are with smart devices.

Here, teachers deliver an education that produces independent problem-solvers with real world skills, giving equal weight to the importance of the California Common Core and the elements of character that students need to live their most successful, happy lives.
