Located on the eastern edge of the West Ottawa Public School District, Riley Farms Elementary opened in the Fall of 2025 as a state-of-the-art learning environment designed for the future of education. Riley Farms is an outstanding choice for families in the Holland, Zeeland, and West Ottawa areas, offering a school community where every member—students, staff, and parents—is valued as a lifelong learner. With the strong support of our staff, families, and PTO, Riley Farms will be a place where children are inspired to love learning and discover that they can make a difference. Our staff is committed to nurturing the growth of each child while encouraging respect and understanding of others.

At Riley Farms, students will benefit from innovative Outdoor Learning opportunities, giving them hands-on experiences that connect classroom lessons with the natural world. Teachers encourage students to think deeply, ask meaningful questions, and take action in their own lives. Through inquiry-based learning and engaging activities, students will develop into responsible and compassionate citizens who care for both their local and global community. Service projects will provide meaningful ways for students to give back to their school and surrounding neighborhoods.

Serving students from kindergarten through fifth grade, Riley Farms will feature highly-qualified and exceptional staff providing instruction in reading, mathematics, science, social studies, physical education, visual arts, technology, performing arts, and foreign language. Additional student support will include media-enriched classrooms, reading and math assistance, speech and language services, English language development, and special education. The school will also celebrate student creativity and achievement through displays of writing, artwork, and music.

If you are currently a member of our West Ottawa community, thank you for your continued support. If you are interested in joining us at Riley Farms Elementary, we look forward to welcoming you as partners in learning.

Thank you,

Dennis White
