FROM STUDENTS & ALUMNI
FROM A PARENT
"They will know they have been loved, they will know they have been challenged, and they will know they come from a place with a soul."
"We have grown as a result of our Ridgefield Academy lives as much as our children."
"The benefit of being able to look back is that the highs all look crisper, they look more elevated, they’re more important and the lows tend to fade."
"The development of character, the preparedness for choices, the values that will allow young adults to stand tall when there’s a really difficult choice in front of them."
"This is a community where parent involvement and participation is required and the more we get the more special this place is, both for the children and the parents."
