Welcome to Oro Grande School District. We have been educating future leaders of America in the High Desert of Southern California since the 1890s! The district also sponsors two WASC-accredited charter schools: Mojave River Academy and Riverside Preparatory School.
Our mission
is to educate the whole child. We believe that all children can excel at academics, and that activities and citizenship are just as important.
Our students
know that we have high expectations for them, and they strive to meet them. We welcome involvement from parents and the community as our students navigate the ever-changing world they live in.
Mojave River Academy
provides alternative educational services through Independent Study to students who are not experiencing success in the regular school environment. WASC-accredited Mojave River Academy currently hosts ten Resource Centers in Kern, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties.
Riverside Preparatory School
offers a high-quality college preparatory curriculum for students in a seat-time setting in Oro Grande. Students in this WASC-accredited program experience a longer day and participate in a project-based learning culture that embraces band, sports, technology, art, piano, and other educational activities. We believe that a holistic approach to education contributes to a well-rounded educational experience.
