Rancho Cucamonga Student Center offers dynamic programs for TK-8 students. The center includes our Discovery Col-LAB-orative Program. Starting the 2024-2025 school year, the Discovery Col-LAB-orative program will be moving to a seat-based model with a focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics). Our vision is to provide a comprehensive education that integrates these disciplines into a cohesive learning paradigm based on real-world applications.
This approach is designed to foster innovation, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills among students from transitional kindergarten through eighth grade. Our mission is to inspire and prepare students to become leaders in an increasingly complex and technology-driven world through a STEAM-focused approach that encourages creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, while also embracing a personalized learning approach that caters to the unique needs and abilities of each student.

Novy Fanicon, a 1st-grade student at the Rancho Cucamonga Student Center, is the February 2026 Student Artist of the Month. Her artwork is entitled “Dream Team.”
Novy likes to draw rainbows, “everything pink,” herself and her brother in the park using Sharpies, crayons, and paint. And, she said, you “can’t forget the glitter.” Besides art, she enjoys collecting stickers and making organic makeup (e.g., lip balm, lip gloss, and blush).
Throughout November and December, all Springs sites and programs are invited to participate in Springs' Regional Preliminary Spelling Bees. Winners from each program or academy earn the opportunity to advance to the All-School Spelling Bee in January—a showdown where the strongest Springs spellers compete for a chance to move on to their local county competition.
