Lake Ridge Academy started in Elyria's neighborhoods when a stranger knocked on the door of an area businessman and wondered if they could create a better place to educate children. Soon they, and a third founder, were opening their homes to invite neighbors, friends, strangers, and whoever would come to hear the dream of an independent school. This dream to start a school, not for the affluent, but for those parents that desired an exemplary learning environment where their children would be known became a reality because of these families' efforts. The school that emerged from these meetings and opened its doors in 1963 has gone through many changes. So has our world.…
