For learners of all ages.
When you wave your kids off to school every morning, you want to feel confident their hearts and minds are being nurtured with care. Because we know that schools are important for families looking to move, we have made education a top priority since the beginning. This is a place where kids can still walk or bike to school and enjoy the journey along the way! We’re proud to be home to 4 onsite schools – The Goddard School, Veramendi Elementary, Lamar Elementary (new location opening fall 2025), and Howard Payne University New Braunfels – and in the highly rated New Braunfels Independent School District.
