Quality education is one of the core values that guides the vision for Ladera Ranch, so that today there are a variety of new campuses, both public and private within the community. Three elementary schools, a middle school, and public library offer Ladera Ranch residents near-the-neighborhood access to superb learning technology. The public schools are under the auspices of the highly acclaimed Capistrano Unified School District.
Young learners can partake of several pre-school and daycare choices just moments from home. A private school campus also operates within Ladera Ranch, offering families the kind of choices they value. The many school and early education campuses are located to make coming and going easy, and several are adjacent to parks.
