Ryan breaks ground on Academy of Classical Education at Covington in Louisiana.

Ryan breaks ground on Academy of Classical Education at Covington in Louisiana. March 20, 2026 Ryan Companies US, Inc., in conjunction with Charter Schools USA (CSUSA), marks a significant milestone with the groundbreaking of the Academy of Classical Education at Covington, a state-of-the-art, 69,000-square-foot educational campus, in Covington, Louisiana. Located in St. Tammany Parish, the K-8 public charter school is scheduled to open early August 2026. The new, tuition-free school addresses the high demand for more educational options in a growing community. It is the first public charter school in the area to offer a classical education. Expected to launch at full enrollment, the future-ready campus will include flexible and collaborative environments, such as athletic facilities, open learning spaces and specialty break-out rooms, as well as dedicated labs for science, art and music. Ryan will serve as the builder with Red Apple Development as the site's developer. Construction began last summer and will be completed ahead of the next academic year. The Academy of Classical Education at Covington offers a classical, liberal arts-based education focused on academic excellence, character development and civic virtue. Instruction is grounded in the Trivium - Grammar, Logic and Rhetoric - and supported by a technology-enhanced, personalized learning model that strengthens, rather than replaces, traditional teaching. Students, known as scholars, engage with classic literature, language instruction at all grade levels, Socratic discussion and service-learning while guided by the school's Beacons of Virtue: prudence, fortitude, temperance and justice. "This project represents more than a testament to our strong relationship with CSUSA," said Nathan Golik, south central region president at Ryan Companies. "Showcasing Ryan's expertise as a premier builder in the core education sector, the development reinforces our commitment to delivering modern educational centers. The Academy of Classical Education at Covington will create lasting value and become a source of pride for the Covington community." The Academy of Classical Education at Covington is part of Ryan's growing presence in the Southeast in the K-12 market. Also, along with CSUSA and RAD, Ryan delivered three charter schools in fall 2025, including Discovery School at Myrtle Beach in Conway, S.C.; Vermillion Charter Academy in Maurice, La.; and Lafayette Renaissance Charter Academy Middle School in Lafayette, La.

Ryan Helps Launch a New Industry Playbook for Climate-Resilient Development

Ryan helps launch a new industry playbook for climate-resilient development. The commercial real estate (CRE) landscape is facing unprecedented challenges. In 2024 alone, insured losses from natural disasters hit $137 billion, and with commercial property insurance premiums surging 88% in the last five years, the financial risks associated with climate change have never been more apparent. A reactive, compliance-based approach is no longer sufficient. Recognizing the urgent need for a unified, proactive strategy, Ryan Companies Inc. joined forces with industry leaders The Resiliency Company, JLL and the Urban Land Institute to launch a first-of-its-kind resource: "From Vulnerability to Value: A Risk Mitigation Playbook to Drive Resilient Development." This free playbook represents a fundamental shift in mindset for the CRE industry, transforming climate resilience from a perceived cost into a core driver of asset value, investor confidence, and long-term profitability. Drawing on the collective insights of 55 leaders across design, construction, finance and insurance, the playbook provides a clear and actionable framework for identifying, assessing and mitigating climate-related risks throughout the entire development lifecycle. It addresses both physical risks, such as flooding and wildfires, as well as transition risks driven by shifting regulations and technology. As a national developer, designer and builder, Ryan Companies Inc. is dedicated to creating spaces where people can thrive. A key part of that commitment is guiding and enabling its clients to build more sustainable and resilient projects for the future. Its involvement in this coalition was driven by a need for a more transparent and collaborative approach to risk management. "We recognized a collective need for a cross-sector resource that allows all stakeholders to work together and have more transparent discussions around navigating and proactively preparing for climate risk," said Joe Rozza, its Chief Sustainability Officer. "This playbook, which outlines best practices and supportive tools, is the most cohesive document we have at our disposal to evaluate joint mitigation options and decide the right next steps in creating a more climate-resistant CRE industry." This initiative challenges the long-held belief that sustainability must come at a premium. Instead, it offers a practical approach for leveraging climate resilience to gain a competitive advantage, leading to premium valuations and increased access to capital. The complete CRE Playbook is now available for download at: https://resiliency.com/climate-risk-management-playbook
