A Word About Kindergarten Age Requirements...
Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, Connecticut will require students entering Kindergarten in the public school system to turn five by September 1. However, as a private school, Ridgefield Academy enjoys the flexibility of being able to work individually with families around grade-level readiness rather than being bound by a standardized guideline.
While RA will maintain its suggested September 1 cutoff, the Admissions Office welcomes discussions with prospective families regarding enrollment options.
