WELCOME TO RIDGEFIELD ACADEMY'S
ADMISSION HUB

Ridgefield Academy (RA) is a private, co-ed day school serving students in PS - Grade 8. At Ridgefield Academy, we understand that early childhood is a pivotal time of development. It is during this time that fundamental concepts such as confidence, curiosity, respect, and resolve are instilled. That’s why we choose to focus solely on Preschool - Grade 8.

Whether you are just beginning to explore RA or are ready to apply now, this page offers a number of ways for you to connect with us. We look forward to getting to know you and sharing what makes Ridgefield Academy truly unique.
SCHEDULE A CALL WITH OUR ADMISSIONS TEAM

EXPLORE RA 

View our beautiful 42-acre campus, hear from students, faculty, alumni, and parents.
 
ATTEND AN OPEN HOUSE: IN-PERSON OR ONLINE!

We believe the best way to understand the value of an RA education is by attending an admissions event in person. These events provide the chance to see Ridgefield Academy’s campus, classrooms, and approach to joyful learning in action.

Virtual "Take a Look Tuesdays” are an opportunity to chat with educational experts and learn more about RA/LP’s intellectually inspiring curriculum and connected community. These engaging online events last approximately 30 minutes.
 
SCHEDULE A PERSONAL TOUR

Unable to attend an open house event? Schedule a personal tour! Personalized tours provide prospective families with the opportunity to observe classrooms, learn more about our unique programs and educational philosophy, and get a glimpse into student life.
 
CONNECT WITH CURRENT FAMILIES

Most people looking into private schools expect outstanding academics but many families place equal emphasis on kindness, character, and community. We invite you to connect with current families so you can learn more about all aspects of the RA experience.
