Transitioning to a new school can be filled with anticipation and questions. Here is how we help to make it smooth and relaxing. We understand that changing schools or beginning school for the first time can be dramatic, but Ridgefield Academy cares deeply to make this a fun, positive experience.

Student Dress Code:
Items may be purchased at The Gap, Lands' End, or French Toast. We encourage you to place your orders early to avoid the inevitable rush and limited supplies during the summer. When using these web sites, make sure you select the “school uniform” option. Please use these suppliers to insure your son/daughter is wearing the proper school uniform. Remember, “Dockers” are also a good choice for school pants. Low-rise pants, cargo pants, pants with rivets, and pants with extra and/or flap pockets are not allowed.
