About South Ridge Elementary School

South Ridge Elementary is an IB World School teaching the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme from kindergarten through 5th grade in Castle Rock, and students can continue in IB at Mesa Middle School and Douglas County High School. Our 5th graders complete the PYP Exhibition, and classroom behavior systems are built around the IB learner profile.

Our student support team includes special education teachers for moderate and severe needs, educational assistants for students with severe needs, two speech-language pathologists, a psychologist, a behavior technician, two counselors, literacy and intervention specialists, a gifted education specialist, and English language development teachers with a cultural liaison and interpreter. Specials include art, music, library and physical education.

Our BASE program opens at 6:30 a.m. for before-school care until 8:40, then picks up again after dismissal from 3:30 to 6 p.m., with games, crafts, gym and playground time, snacks and homework help. The campus is also home to Oakland School, a one-room schoolhouse built in 1899 that was moved here to serve as a museum and teaching model.
