Our school dedicates itself to the critical preschool through eighth grade years when we believe students can and will acquire the necessary training, confidence and enthusiasm for learning to be successful in any secondary school setting. Helping to find the right school and the right "fit" is our commitment to every eighth grader. Ridgefield Academy sponsors one of the most thorough and comprehensive Secondary School Placement programs in Fairfield County. As students enter Upper School (Grades 6, 7 and 8), the Head of School and the Head of the Upper School lead them through a sequence of steps designed to help prepare, plan, investigate and consider a wide range of options. Given our proximity to many independent day schools, being within two hours driving distance of some of America's leading boarding schools, and nestled among several highly rated public school systems, our students are presented with compelling choices.
If you have any questions regarding our secondary school placement process, please
email Joe Perry Head of Middle and Upper School, or call (203) 894-1800 x116.
