RIDGEFIELD ACADEMY STUDENTS ARE...

RA Secondary (High) School Admissions Fair | October 8, 2025

Ridgefield Academy offers comprehensive secondary school admissions counseling to help our students and their families plan for the years after Grade 8. As students enter Upper School (Grades 6, 7 and 8), our Head of School and Head of Upper School lead them through an individualized process designed to consider a wide range of options.

Each year, Ridgefield Academy hosts a Secondary School Admissions Fair, bringing Admissions staff from more than 50 schools to our campus. The Admissions Fair is open to all students and their families.

We want RA students and their families to make an informed decision about their future schooling. To help, we provide a step-by-step calendar guide and a directory of schools that includes current admissions contact information, as well as data on selection criteria. In addition, we prepare students for school visits and the questions that they may be asked during interviews. Each Grade 8 student has a mock interview with their peers and an RA faculty member.

Over the last five years, we have placed students at the following independent day schools, public schools, and boarding schools. In addition, our graduates have attended some of the finest colleges and universities.
