For the Love of Learning
Live at North River Ranch, and you’ll discover it’s also a new educational hub for the entire Manatee County region. Our exceptional education network offers opportunities for learning at every stage of life. Recognizing the need for good public schools in the area, Neal Land & Neighborhoods was instrumental in facilitating the development of new onsite schools in 2019, including Parrish Community High School and the existing Barbara A. Harvey Elementary School.
NEW FOR THE 2025-26 SCHOOL YEAR
The Manatee County School Board announced that the new onsite middle school at North River Ranch will be incorporated into Barbara A. Harvey as a K-8 school.
Anticipated to open school year 2025/2026; you can read more about the design here.
Higher education will be only steps away too. A new State College of Florida campus is adjacent to North River Ranch’s Riverfield neighborhood. The college will offer both associate and bachelor’s degree programs. Imagine going from pre-K to college, all within walking and biking distance of your home! Lifelong learners can take advantage of our outdoor “classroom” environment thanks to our miles of trails and unexpected opportunities for discovery. It’s time to make a brilliant move to our new home community in Manatee County.
