Ranney School, an age 3 through Grade 12 college preparatory school in Tinton Falls, fosters curious learners who are creative and critical thinkers. Ranney students love learning, welcome new challenges and explore passions authentically and meaningfully. The school offers a robust and rigorous course of study across disciplines with expert and nurturing faculty that inspire, challenge and support students.
A CAMPUS THAT SUPPORTS ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES
Ranney School’s collegiate-style 65-acre campus provides endless opportunities, including a new greenhouse and science labs that will be dedicated for the 2024-25 school year. Last year, the school invested in a Finance Lab featuring 12 Bloomberg terminals.
The Lower School opened the Bharara Lower School Library and Learning Commons last year, and the astronomy program also expanded with access to the Ranney observatory.
“Research shows that physical spaces play a very important role in student learning and engagement and it is wonderful to see our students and teachers benefitting from projects we identified in our recent master site plan,” says Head of School Dr. John Griffith. “The opportunity to learn about science at the pond or in the community garden—or take classes outside using the outdoor classroom—are a benefit to students in all divisions.”
PROGRAMS THAT NURTURE A WELL-ROUNDED EDUCATION
Students are encouraged to take advantage of all that Ranney has to offer while they explore emerging talents and interests. There are myriad opportunities for students to take on leadership roles to develop that skill.
Ranney offers numerous activities and opportunities for students to pursue their passions at a high level. The performing arts department won seven Basie Awards for the productions of She Kills Monsters and Mean Girls this year, while the boys’ golf team won the state title in the spring. All three Middle School ensembles (band, chorus and orchestra) earned superior ratings at the High Note Festival, and many visual arts students and creative writing authors received Scholastic awards this year.
“Through co-curricular activities, students not only develop their skills and talents but also learn collaboration, resilience, organization, creativity, hard work and other life skills,” Griffith says. “We are fortunate that in a small school kids don’t need to choose just one area to explore.”
