View Ridge Elementary Arts Academy Replacement

View Ridge Elementary Arts Academy Replacement

Construction begins in fall 2025!

We’re excited to announce a full school replacement to better serve our students and community. The new, 60,000 SF school will be built on a new site adjacent to the existing building, allowing our school community to remain in the existing building during construction. Once complete, the new school will accommodate up to 500 students, increasing capacity to meet the growing needs of our community.

Our new school will feature: 

  • Modern two-story design with facilities to support the diverse learning needs of all students.
  • An expanded arts & activities wing with dedicated space for performances, music, and movement.
  • Outdoor learning courtyards to support hands-on learning and arts programming.
  • Spacious library with natural light and scenic mountain views to inspire curiosity and connection.
