Ribét Academy is located
just east of the Glendale (2) Freeway at San Fernando
Road in the San Fernando Valley. The three-story facility
once housed a Catholic school for boys, and you get
the feeling that not much has been done in the way
of renovations for many years. The building, which
can be viewed from the freeway, looks more like a
hospital than a school and is slightly run down.
|
Inside, the hallways are extra-wide
and the classrooms are large and bright. The school
administration is working hard to rid the school of
the institutional feeling that the facility has had
in the past. The school leases the property from the
Catholic church and they have a 16-year lease left.
However, the walls have been painted inside and out,
there is a new gymnasium (bleacher seating), play areas,
tennis courts, football field, and track, and the school
has a lovely new garden.
Ribét is a traditional
academic school. Character education is also stressed. There is a school cafeteria
(at the sub-basement level) where hot lunch is served,
a renovated 22,000 volume library, a baseball diamond,
and three outside basketball courts.
