Ridge Academy was established by a group of parents and designed by educators to create a unique partnership among children, parents, and teachers. Working together, we have created a learning environment that honors each child and surrounds all of our students with the support, encouragement, knowledge, and understanding that they need and deserve. Daily, we strive to provide a stimulating and challenging curriculum in a warm and caring atmosphere. Ridge Academy provides a complete and challenging curriculum. It is the learning environment and process coupled with a strong and genuine child/parent/teacher partnership that make Ridge Academy unique. At Ridge Academy, we maximize the potential of motivated learners, providing four key elements of success an Engaging Educational Approach linking cutting edge research in neuroscience with specific educational practices to nurture the natural learning process of the brain and a Respectful Environment that values self-reliance, independent thinking, diversity, and the worth of each child. Our students realize that "mistakes" are opportunities for growth and deeper learning.
