Blue Ribbon Academy Proudly Presents
Fern Academy Educational Childcare
Fern Academy’s parent school, Blue Ribbon Academy of Youth Education, grew up in the local Chino community. After five years of experiencing its own triumphs and tribulations, Blue Ribbon expanded as it realized the value it brought to students. Like the children it taught, Blue Ribbon was resilient upon facing challenges and never faltered in achieving its own goals of empowering children to succeed by establishing meaningful connections.
At Fern Academy, we continue to instill values and challenge our children to be the best they can be by bringing bigger and better experiences to our future leaders.
