While the College is affiliated with the Churches of Christ, students of all religious backgrounds are welcome at Crowley's Ridge College. The founder of CRC was Emmett F.

Both institutions had ceased operation by the 1930s. Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus participated in groundbreaking ceremonies on January 29, 1964, and the College officially opened its doors on July 6, 1964, with an enrollment of 80 students.
  4. At Pacific Ridge School, our mission statement guides everything that we do. Its pillars - academic excellence, ethical Responsibility, and global engagement - support our academic program, as well as the vast number of co-curricular offerings, extra-curricular activities, and opportunities our students explore. Its aims - preparation for college and purposeful life - are realized by students who come to understand that learning is a joyful, life-long pursuit and that the world contains many kinds of classrooms. At the heart of Pacific Ridge School are the multi-faceted interactions between our students, peers, and teachers. This is a community designed to give its members space to grow one that provides the opportunity to stretch, along with the support and guidance needed to do it successfully. As our students challenge themselves academically, explore assumptions from new perspectives, and become aware of their roles as members of a global community, they discover the kinds of people they would like to become. Academic excellence at Pacific Ridge prepares students for college and life beyond. Our faculty have designed a curriculum that emphasizes rigorous, college-preparatory study, while a wide array of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities engage and inspire students every day. In our program, students find that learning is a lifelong pursuit, and the world contains many kinds of classrooms. Integrating content and values across academic disciplines and throughout the educational experience is central to our mission. Students learn to make connections between and beyond traditional disciplines in a way that adds depth, breadth, and purpose to learning. Our co-curricular programs, including service-learning and global education, give students hands-on opportunities to take their learning beyond the classroom walls. At Pacific Ridge, we aim to educate responsible, involved citizens of both the local community and the world at large and to show students that their studies can make a meaningful impact on their lives and the lives of others. Ethical Responsibility is one of the three critical components of our mission, grounding academic excellence, and global engagement as all three components lead students toward a purposeful life. Students in every grade put ethics into practice, locally and globally, in a year-long experiential program of Service Learning. Students meet during a weekly class period to gain academic, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills that they apply out in the community. The Global Travel program exposes students to ethical issues affecting cultures and societies worldwide. By 11th and 12th grade, students are prepared to routinely recognize and consider ethical issues as they appear in their academic studies and the world around them. Service-Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection. This approach enriches each student's academic experience, teaches civic and ethical Responsibility, and strengthens communities for the common good. Built into the curriculum and the school day, the Service Learning program guides students to take abstract concepts from the classroom and apply them in real-world situations. Students meet during a weekly class period to gain academic, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills to assist them in their projects, which vary by grade. Service Learning projects require students to collaborate with both local and global communities to reach very concrete goals. At Pacific Ridge, global engagement encompasses both perspective and action. Students aspire to a global outlook by immersing themselves in a community or culture other than their own, whether near or far. Students pursue engagement in that community or culture through academic enrichment, cultural and linguistic immersion, and service work. These activities lead to an understanding of the interdependency of cultures and the inspiration to act for the world's good. Pacific Ridge School attracts teachers who are passionate about their craft. Our faculty members come from around the country and the world, having studied at top universities. They bring with them a wealth of experience, global perspectives, and a desire to innovate. In addition to academic disciplines, teachers are organized into grade-level, collaborative teams that meet twice weekly to share instructional best practices, discuss ways to integrate the curriculum and ensure that each student is challenged and supported to reach their potential.

  5. 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. Though we talk about living in an increasingly small world, the truth is that though our world may have "shrunk," many of us have lost touch with the neighbors next door. While our sense of community is being lost in our neighborhoods, we begin with a community at Lake Ridge Academy. We are a diverse community of families who seek an outstanding educational experience for our children. We are a community of students who thrive in a learning environment where we are known, loved, and held to a high standard by our teachers. We are a community of mentors, scholars who value an intense intellectual debate as much as we cherish a child's smiling face. We are also a community that embraces our cultural differences and believes that understanding and appreciating those differences makes us better world citizens. Within this caring community of learners, we offer an educational experience that few schools can match. From the time our students start kindergarten, they are immersed in an inquiry-based education to pique their innate curiosity. Beginning with the youngest, our students learn to ask the right questions and how to find answers, essential skills in an ever-changing world. This approach to education helps us develop independent learners and fulfill our mission of developing confident young people who think critically and creatively. We have followed the wishes of our founders by offering an exemplary developmentally appropriate college preparatory curriculum. We are a school where hard-working students excel. Our graduates are known for their outstanding communication skills and ability to think and work independently. While we offer several unique programs, like our graduate certificate programs in scientific research, fine arts, and global citizenship, along with our K-12 foreign language program, we ground our students in the basics. Understanding the importance of math and science in the 21st Century, we continue to be a math and science education leader in the Cleveland area. Beginning in kindergarten, our math program lays the foundation for understanding algebra, geometry, and calculus. Our high achieving math students begin taking algebra in sixth grade. Our advanced Upper School students are offered independent studies in Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations. Taking advantage of a 93-acre campus with woods and pond that serves as an outdoor laboratory for our K-12 students, our environmental program begins with labs in kindergarten. It ends with our Upper School's Honors Environmental Studies class. Our Upper School offers honors and AP classes in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. We also offer our students unique courses like Anatomy and Physiology and Developmental Biology and Embryology for students interested in the medical profession. Our Fine Arts program is one of the areas best. Believing that each student at Lake Ridge Academy possesses their own unique set of artistic talents and skills, our arts programs begin in the earliest grades. From kindergarten through eighth grade, we engage our students in many art media, musical arts, and regular performances. Students enjoy a wide range of offerings from AP Art to Musical Theater Lab in the Upper School. Our newly developed jazz program hosts visiting professors from area colleges to work with our young performers. Our Thespian Society has produced incredible musicals and dramas like our award-winning state production of The Imaginary Invalid. The accolades our academic programs have received do not stop there. Our graduates will tell you that the outstanding education they received at Lake Ridge Academy more than prepared them for the rigors of college. They will tell you that the opportunities they had in and out of the classroom gave them an advantage over their college classmates. They will also tell you that what they miss most about Lake Ridge Academy is the love and support that they felt within this community, a community with the values of integrity, respect, scholarship, and personal best at its core.

  6. Sage Ridge School is a non-sectarian, coeducational, college preparatory private day school in Reno, Nevada. This is how we define ourselves, but there is much more to us than that. Not only does our prep school provide our students with world-class educational opportunities, but we also do so while living by our value pillars of Respect, integrity, Community, courage, and Scholarship. We show Respect for self, one's peers, teachers, and family is a critical piece of everyday life of the Sage Ridge School.

At Sage Ridge School, we care about the whole child. Our mission and pillars -Scholarship, Respect, Integrity, Courage, Community- define and guide the Sage Ridge experience. We are Reno's only non-sectarian, coeducational, college preparatory day school, and we provide our students with world-class educational opportunities. Sage Ridge School is a fully accredited member of the Northwest Association of Independent Schools (NWAIS) and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. In 1996, community leaders, parents, and educators came together with a vision to augment the area's educational opportunities by providing the first college preparatory school serving the Truckee Meadows. Those founders set forth the following goals: Challenge students through an integrated, core college prep curriculum Generate excitement for learning Foster self-discipline while nourishing self-confidence Emphasize and incorporate sound ethical and moral values in all that it does Encourage a sense of social responsibility Serve a diverse student population Provide adequate need-based financial assistance for qualified applicants Offer a wide range of extra and co-curricular activities Require a high standard of conduct Prepare students for subsequent academic challenges of the most rigorous nature Deciding where to send your child to school is one of the hardest decisions parents face today. We live in an increasingly competitive world clouded by educational fads and ever-changing declarations on the benefits of certain types of schools, tests, and standards. At Sage Ridge School, we believe in educating children for the future by instilling in them the fundamentals of critical thinking, writing, and problem-solving skills both in the classroom and co-curricular activities. Moreover, we prepare students for college while embracing their creativity and passions. We strive to reflect the greater Reno community and look for students who are willing to stretch and challenge themselves academically. Sage Ridge seeks students who are willing to be involved in our school community and have interests outside the school. We want students who, along with their parents, support our college preparatory school's mission and our Value Pillars of Scholarship, Respect, Integrity, Courage, and Community. It only takes a few moments of conversation with a Sage Ridge student to realize that something unusual is happening in and out of our school's classrooms. Central to the Sage Ridge education is the everyday relationship between students and teachers. Students collaborate with faculty in a safe, compassionate environment strengthened by shared values, self-reliance, and optimism. Our faculty works with all students, addressing their strengths and weaknesses to acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and dispositions to succeed in their collegiate careers. Classes are the hubs of learning where students share ideas, work together to solve problems, and take ownership of their learning. College prep classes in all departments are small and allow teachers and students to get to know each other and work together daily. Because of this individual attention and one-on-one support, Sage Ridge School students achieve notable success with their coursework. We take pride in the fact that no one falls through the cracks. We provide our students with a challenging college preparatory curriculum that is developmentally appropriate for intellectually capable adolescents. Our curriculum classes are led by engaging and dedicated teachers who have high expectations for all students while always putting the students first. These outstanding teachers use our Pillars of Respect, Integrity, Community, Courage, and Scholarship as a framework for class discussions and atmosphere, creating an educational environment where students feel supported, respected, included, and safe. In our Middle School and Upper School, students strive to achieve academic success and healthy personal development. The curriculum for Grades 4-12 is carefully crafted to build from year to year students' content knowledge and skill set. Students who leave our Middle School are prepared to be successful for Upper School and with the foundation for a lifetime of learning and growth. Year after year, our Upper School students are well prepared for higher education, with 100 percent of graduating Seniors continuing their studies at colleges and universities throughout the United States.

We begin each day with prayer before setting about a rich, engaging course of study inspired by a classical model for education and a desire to equip students to serve God and neighbor as mature, thoughtful adults in the modern world. Especially as they grow older, young people want to be a part of something that matters. At Trinity School, parents, students, faculty and staff are all united by the high ideals of the Trinity School mission: The mission of Trinity Schools is to impart basic ordered knowledge about the world and to train students in necessary intellectual skills and qualities of mind so that they might be of use to God in the wise care and governance of his creation and the building of his kingdom. We accomplish this by establishing a culture marked by the discovery of truth, the practice of goodness, the creation of beauty, and the development of intellectual and aesthetic habits of mind. Trinity School is a community of learners characterized by the rigorous exploration of reality, the free and disciplined exchange of ideas, and active participation in the fine arts. Trinity School's clarity and consistency concerning our education philosophy will help your child with an unparalleled learning experience. Grounded in the Christian tradition and borrowing from many classical education elements, the school has a clear vision for the role of education in the life of human beings. We believe human beings were created to pursue the truth, practice goodness, and create beauty and not merely to know but to love. This vision shapes everything your child will experience and the kind of learner they will become. Many factors influence a family's choice of school, but an educational institution's essential feature is its academic program. Will the program inspire your child with a vision of greatness? Will it equip him or her for whatever comes next? Will it provide a foundation not only for college and career but also for life? At Trinity School, we believe our academic program answers "Yes" to all these questions. Our educational philosophy begins with understanding your child as a young person full of wonder, curious about the world, and eager to learn. And our curriculum is designed to answer the most critical question a school should ask about outcomes: "What should educated adults in our time know?" As educators, our task is to match up your child's natural desire for wisdom with the dispositions, skills, and knowledge crucial to human thriving. Our curriculum puts students on track to tackle challenging subjects like calculus and physics. Your child will graduate, having read and discussed original texts by authors like Augustine, Aquinas, Descartes, and Hegel. And everyone participates in our performance-based arts program, acting in plays, performing in concerts, and entering their work in juried art shows. Trinity School's program is rightly ambitious, but the curriculum's pace is designed to allow for wonder and engagement. Our commitment to avoiding a "teach to the test" mentality means that your child's questions and concerns will guide his or her investigation, and small class sizes assure that teachers can adjust to meet individual students' needs–whether that be for additional help or a more significant challenge.

  9. Stone Ridge is a Catholic, independent, college preparatory school in the Network of Sacred Heart schools for girls, Grades 1-12, with a co-educational early childhood program, Little Hearts, which serves children three-month olds through Kindergarten age. Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart inspires young women to lead and serve through lives of purpose that integrate faith, intellect, community, social action, and personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom. As a Catholic school in the Archdiocese of Washington, students at Stone Ridge study the Catholic Church's teachings at every grade level, participate in sacramental and devotional life, and embrace the social responsibilities shared by all Christians. Stone Ridge is a Catholic school for children of many faiths and promotes a deep understanding and respect for people and religions worldwide. Inherent in its Catholic identity and Sacred Heart tradition, Stone Ridge maintains a global, ecumenical perspective enhancing the faith life of all community members, including the students, faculty, parents, alumnae, friends, staff, and administrators. The curriculum and extracurricular activities recognize every individual's unique gifts, talents, and viewpoints, providing excellent programs in academics, arts, athletics, and service leadership. Stone Ridge provides a distinct educational experience from Preschool through Grade 12. In addition to our vibrant Bethesda campus, the Network of Sacred Heart Schools connects Stone Ridge students with peers in 22 schools in the United States and 44 countries worldwide. Our academic program in Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools teaches students to think critically and prepares our graduates not only for college but for meaningful lives as adults. Our belief in developing the whole person means that a Stone Ridge education involves much more than academic success. We provide an array of spiritual development opportunities, athletic and fine arts programs, and a real commitment to teaching students to be socially aware. For nearly a century, Stone Ridge has offered a remarkable educational experience focused on developing future leaders who will serve with faith, intellect, and confidence. Our youngest students in our co-ed Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, and Kindergarten, as well as our girls in Grades 1-12, benefit from our tradition of academic excellence, athletic achievement, artistic endeavors, and strong faith. As part of a Sacred Heart Network of over two hundred schools, we celebrate many time-honored traditions at home and abroad, including Spirit Days, Congés, Feast Wishes, and Father/Daughter Field Day. More importantly, the friendships our students make at Stone Ridge and with our sister schools around the world are ones that our students cherish for life. Choosing the right school, not only for the student but also for the family, is one of the most important decisions a family can make. Every child is unique, and finding the right educational match is the key to her success. For many girls, a single-sex school is a perfect environment for academic growth and fostering development in extracurricular talents, leadership, and self-confidence. Boys and girls learn differently. Teachers at girls' schools can capitalize on the girls' learning styles, giving them a vital skillset to build upon. Students tend to display their intelligence and curiosity in an all-girls classroom setting without the worry of social stigma. This confidence, mainly gained at a young age, carries into the students' more advanced studies. View full school
  10. Blue Ridge School is a boarding school for boys, with grades nine through twelve. We are a private school that serves young men who respond well to small classes, a structured environment, and a strong community sense. Our faculty challenges each boy to reach beyond his current performance level and expectation to discover his potential. We develop character by nurturing qualities such as integrity, courage, perseverance, and empathy. The average class size is eight, and the average student load per teacher is 40. This allows teachers to give personalized attention and to individualize their teaching materials for each student. Blue Ridge School understands that boys learn differently than girls, and the School uses a Learning Model explicitly designed for boys. Social activities, the arts, clubs, community service, and athletics are valuable vehicles for young men's development. Blue Ridge School offers some co-curricular programs that build self-esteem and develop leadership and teamwork skills. Blue Ridge School has been built upon the values of integrity, civility, and a strong work ethic. Our CODE OF CONDUCT is unique in that it is written for both our students and the adult members of our community. Additionally, our code incorporates the concept of Brother's Keeper – promoting a peer culture of responsibility and obligation to each other. Blue Ridge School's campus is located twenty miles from Charlottesville, Virginia, and only about 2 hours from Washington D.C. and Richmond, Virginia. Our campus, which comprises nearly 750 acres, lies at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Every day, Blue Ridge School works with young men to hone their strengths, realize their potential, and move confidently into the future. As a school, we expect no less of ourselves. We specifically focus on helping boys reach their potential through personalized, structured, innovative learning practices in a college-preparatory, all-boarding community. The Blue Ridge School faculty believe that: A structured, systematic approach to learning, which emphasizes study skills, time management skills, and organization skills, and provides time and resources for help and improvement, will motivate young men to try to achieve and prepare for the challenges of adulthood. An all-male, all-boarding environment facilitates bonding and focuses on learning and developing leadership skills with minimal distractions. A regular program for worship and reflection promotes spiritual and moral awareness and growth. The educational program should be student-centered that students should be active participants in the learning and assessment process that students are responsible for their learning. Our faculty and staff's most critical role is to serve as advisors or surrogate parents for the boys. The advisor-student relationship sets the tone for participation in, appreciation of, and buy-in to the total Blue Ridge experience. Our Code of Conduct is the linchpin and ethical compass upon which Blue Ridge stands. Residence Life is the centerpiece around which every other aspect of the Blue Ridge experience revolves. The human dimension and quality of life surrounding each boy's personal space determine how disposed he is to learning and wanting to be a member of our community. Communal life provides fertile ground for learning responsible decision making, organizing time, developing empathy and acceptance of differences, and becoming team players. A comprehensive co-curricular program is an essential part of the learning and growth experience. Sports, the arts, clubs, service learning, outdoor programs, and social activities are valuable vehicles for developing the unique array of gifts and interests that are part of every young man. Such programs build self-esteem and foster an appreciation for and development of skills in leadership and teamwork. At Blue Ridge School, we encourage each boy to discover his potential and grow into a well-rounded young man. Our atmosphere of support and camaraderie, along with our comprehensive offering of programs, allows boys to try new things both in and out of the classroom. We understand that preparing our boys for college is the ultimate goal of Blue Ridge School. Our College Counseling Program prepares boys for college and helps guide them through the application process with as much or as little support as they require. A diverse student population is essential to the Blue Ridge School experience. For our international students, the English Language Learners Program (ELL) is instrumental in helping each boy assimilate into American culture and hone their English skills in preparation for attending an American college or university. An all-boys school wouldn't be complete without a robust Athletics Program. With over 20 athletic teams, a boy may try sports; he has never had a chance to try in another school environment. And most importantly, perhaps, it is another opportunity to develop their leadership and teamwork skills for life. Together, all of these unique yet complementary programs facilitate learning and exploration. The success and self-discovery young men can achieve through involvement in these various programs is what makes a Blue Ridge School education an invaluable asset for a lifetime. View full school
  11. North Ridge is one of 3 secondary specialist support schools for pupils with severe and complex learning difficulties in Manchester serving the North district of the authority. The Local Authority (LA) does have ultimate control over the pupils admitted to each special school. Manchester Local Authority’s policy for determining admissions to maintained special schools is based upon matching the special educational needs of individual pupils to the particular range of needs provided for in each school. Special schools are broadly classified as providing for a particular type of special educational need. Since many pupils may show a combination of needs, the predominant identified need will normally be the determining factor in school placements. Pupil placements follow a formal assessment of the pupils’ special educational needs. This process usually results in the issue of an Education Health Care Plan, naming the school which offers the most appropriate provision for the pupil concerned. From time to time pupils are admitted to a school for a short period of assessment. We base our E-safety curriculum upon Childnet’s S.M.A.R.T. initiative. S.M.A.R.T. gives our students a very visual and memorable way to remember key principles of E-safety. We also use B-Squared E-safety level descriptors to give our students individual E-safety curriculum levels. The pupil premium was introduced by the government in April 2011. The funding was allocated specifically for children from low-income families who were eligible for free school meals, looked after children, and those from families with parents in the Armed Forces. Each school decides how their Pupil Premium is best spent to raise achievement and improve outcomes for the target pupils identified. Schools are however held accountable for how the funding is used and are expected to report to parents and the Governing Body on Pupil Premium expenditure. The school has long, medium, and short-term curriculum plans that match the curriculum taught to the pupils in the school. Teachers’ medium-term plans contain clear learning objectives within the context of the National Curriculum programs of study and the national strategies. Achievement of these objectives will be recognized through assessment opportunities. Teachers’ short-term planning identifies clear learning objectives for lessons and differentiates the curriculum to take into account pupils’ abilities. This may be for individual pupils or small groups. Assessment is made using the following techniques: questioning, observations, discussion, and consideration of recorded evidence – pictorial, written, scribed, keyboard, video recording, audio recording, or photographs. Pupils take part in setting personal targets and assessing the achievements of these targets each term. 3 In Key Stage 4 pupils are assessed in Mathematics, English, Science, ICT, P.E., and Drama by the standards and methods identified by the Examination Board and ASDAN. In 6 the Form, the students will be assessed against the standards and methods identified by the ASDAN, OCR National Skills Profile, and ALL Programme. All the work is moderated by the required methods identified by each examination board. The teachers will moderate pupils’ work in the sixth form department as part of the requirements of the National Skills Profile and ASDAN Programme. Moderation of pupils work by the teachers across the school takes place termly. North Ridge High School is a Rights Respecting School. A Rights Respecting School is a community where children’s rights are learned, taught, practiced, respected, protected, and promoted. The safety and individual opinions and views of the pupils are paramount. This policy statement should be read in conjunction with DFE guidance on exclusions, physical interventions, and our school policies and guidelines on positive handling, using the quiet room, and the pupil’s right to dignity and courtesy. This policy is written to help make North Ridge High School a place where pupils have a right to learn, to work, and to feel safe. Pupils, parents, and staff enjoy a happy atmosphere at North Ridge High School. This can be achieved with the co-operation of all involved. The overall and final responsibility for health and safety within the establishment is that of the employer (Local Authority) and certain areas with the governors of the school. The responsibility for ensuring that the requirements detailed in this policy are being carried out throughout the establishment is that of the Business Manager who reports directly to the Headteacher. All children have access to an appropriate curriculum, differentiated to meet their needs. This enables them to learn to develop the necessary skills to build self-esteem, respect others, defend those in need, resolve conflict without resorting to violence, question, and challenge, and make informed choices in later life. We use restorative approaches and language to support our pupils in understanding their responsibilities and the feelings of victims. Pupils achieve their best when school and parents/carers support each other in partnership. At North Ridge, we aim to do this and ask parents to support us by signing this agreement. View full school

  14. Welcome to Trinityhouse! Our Christian school has a traditional ethos with deep roots. Here, teaching and learning take place in a loving, nurturing environment where pupils are encouraged to become happy, confident, and competent individuals. The holistic approach to education allows each pupil to find their potential, in body, mind, and spirit. At Trinithouse children are allowed to mature in a protected environment with high ideals and values. All five Trinityhouse campuses boast rich and rewarding academic, sports, and cultural programs. The first Trinityhouse School was founded in Randpark Ridge in 1997 with 242 pupils, after which the school enjoyed unprecedented growth. The founding campus operated on its own until 2011 until rapid expansion of the brand took place. Trinity house Little Falls opened its doors in 2012, followed by Palm Lakes in 2013, Heritage Hill in 2014, and Northriding in 2015. At Trinityhouse we are aware that we are preparing our pupils to move into a world of work that will be defined by jobs that don’t currently exist, using technologies that haven’t been invented, to solve problems that are no problems yet. The Fourth Industrial Revolution will have brought with it advanced automated robotic processes and autonomous transport, as well as advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, uses of advanced materials, biotechnology, and genomics. These developments will transform the way we live, and the way we work. As stated by Harvard University “Put simply, preparing our students to participate fully in today’s and tomorrow’s world, demands that we nurture their global competencies.” After extensive research, conversations, and exploration of global educational approaches to these evolving workplace requirements, Trinityhouse defined the Global Competencies we would strive to develop from Pre-Primary children through to matriculants. Five Core Global Competencies have been identified as: • Thinking Skills (Critical, Creative and Reflective Thinking) • Research Skills ( Inquiry learning and Media Literacy) • Communication Skills (Participating in discussions/Sharing of understandings) • Social Skills (Collaborating with others/ Learning how to interact with others) • Self-Management Skills (Reflection, Growth Mindset, Self-Regulation) As Trinityhouse continues to explore and expand our approaches to teaching and learning, the Core Skills as global competencies, continue to be a fundamental curriculum component included across all disciplines, for all pupils of all ages. All Trinityhouse staff are engaged in regular training the purpose of which is finding authentic connections within their subjects, to develop these skills in a variety of contexts. View full school
  15. The first phase (the willing phase) from birth to age 7, sees the formation of the child’s physical body and the development of the will are paramount. This is the stage at which children live through their hands and the Kindergarten child learns by doing. The children learn about themselves, each other, and the world around them by engaging in creative play, music, dance, art craft, and domestic crafts such as baking and cleaning. The routine and repetition help the children to develop self-discipline in a nurturing environment. Soft colors and natural materials surround the children with beauty and inspire their creativity.The second phase (the feeling phase) 7-14 years is when the heart and lungs harmonize. The rhythmic system is developing in conjunction with the feeling of life. Subjects are delivered in a creative and integrated way through the teacher's imaginative life. The children develop a sense of everything being connected to the whole. A belief in truth, beauty, and goodness, and a connection to the world is paramount. The third phase (the thinking phase) from adolescence to adulthood, sees the young person developing their intellect. The emphasis is now on developing powers of reasoning and judgment. The focus lies with developing their abstract thinking and artistic sensitivity. At the core of Steiner’s principles is the belief that true education must encompass the whole child within the context of human development. It is aimed at their spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical development in a harmonious and balanced way. View full school

  18. Welcome to Trinity School at River Ridge! Trinity students come to join our community of learners from many different areas of the Twin Cities and various educational environments. As you explore our website, you will learn about our curriculum and some of the traditions that knit our community together. Under our dynamic faculty leadership, students grow into mature learners who are curious, articulate, and sound thinkers. Our curriculum and school culture allow every student to develop their many unique gifts and talents so that, upon graduation, they are prepared to continue learning. We begin each day with prayer before setting about a rich, engaging course of study inspired by a classical model for education and a desire to equip students to serve God and neighbor as mature, thoughtful adults in the modern world. Especially as they grow older, young people want to be a part of something that matters. At Trinity School, parents, students, faculty and staff are all united by the high ideals of the Trinity School mission: The mission of Trinity Schools is to impart basic ordered knowledge about the world and to train students in necessary intellectual skills and qualities of mind so that they might be of use to God in the wise care and governance of his creation and the building of his kingdom. We accomplish this by establishing a culture marked by the discovery of truth, the practice of goodness, the creation of beauty, and the development of intellectual and aesthetic habits of mind. Trinity School is a community of learners characterized by the rigorous exploration of reality, the free and disciplined exchange of ideas, and active participation in the fine arts. Trinity School's clarity and consistency concerning our education philosophy will help your child with an unparalleled learning experience. Grounded in the Christian tradition and borrowing from many classical education elements, the school has a clear vision for the role of education in the life of human beings. We believe human beings were created to pursue the truth, practice goodness, and create beauty and not merely to know but to love. This vision shapes everything your child will experience and the kind of learner they will become. Many factors influence a family's choice of school, but an educational institution's essential feature is its academic program. Will the program inspire your child with a vision of greatness? Will it equip him or her for whatever comes next? Will it provide a foundation not only for college and career but also for life? At Trinity School, we believe our academic program answers "Yes" to all these questions. Our educational philosophy begins with understanding your child as a young person full of wonder, curious about the world, and eager to learn. And our curriculum is designed to answer the most critical question a school should ask about outcomes: "What should educated adults in our time know?" As educators, our task is to match up your child's natural desire for wisdom with the dispositions, skills, and knowledge crucial to human thriving. Our curriculum puts students on track to tackle challenging subjects like calculus and physics. Your child will graduate, having read and discussed original texts by authors like Augustine, Aquinas, Descartes, and Hegel. And everyone participates in our performance-based arts program, acting in plays, performing in concerts, and entering their work in juried art shows. Trinity School's program is rightly ambitious, but the curriculum's pace is designed to allow for wonder and engagement. Our commitment to avoiding a "teach to the test" mentality means that your child's questions and concerns will guide his or her investigation, and small class sizes assure that teachers can adjust to meet individual students' needs–whether that be for additional help or a more significant challenge.
  19. Stone Ridge is a Catholic, independent, college preparatory school in the Network of Sacred Heart schools for girls, Grades 1-12, with a co-educational early childhood program, Little Hearts, which serves children three-month olds through Kindergarten age. Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart inspires young women to lead and serve through lives of purpose that integrate faith, intellect, community, social action, and personal growth in an atmosphere of wise freedom. As a Catholic school in the Archdiocese of Washington, students at Stone Ridge study the Catholic Church's teachings at every grade level, participate in sacramental and devotional life, and embrace the social responsibilities shared by all Christians. Stone Ridge is a Catholic school for children of many faiths and promotes a deep understanding and respect for people and religions worldwide. Inherent in its Catholic identity and Sacred Heart tradition, Stone Ridge maintains a global, ecumenical perspective enhancing the faith life of all community members, including the students, faculty, parents, alumnae, friends, staff, and administrators. The curriculum and extracurricular activities recognize every individual's unique gifts, talents, and viewpoints, providing excellent programs in academics, arts, athletics, and service leadership. Stone Ridge provides a distinct educational experience from Preschool through Grade 12. In addition to our vibrant Bethesda campus, the Network of Sacred Heart Schools connects Stone Ridge students with peers in 22 schools in the United States and 44 countries worldwide. Our academic program in Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools teaches students to think critically and prepares our graduates not only for college but for meaningful lives as adults. Our belief in developing the whole person means that a Stone Ridge education involves much more than academic success. We provide an array of spiritual development opportunities, athletic and fine arts programs, and a real commitment to teaching students to be socially aware. For nearly a century, Stone Ridge has offered a remarkable educational experience focused on developing future leaders who will serve with faith, intellect, and confidence. Our youngest students in our co-ed Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, and Kindergarten, as well as our girls in Grades 1-12, benefit from our tradition of academic excellence, athletic achievement, artistic endeavors, and strong faith. As part of a Sacred Heart Network of over two hundred schools, we celebrate many time-honored traditions at home and abroad, including Spirit Days, Congés, Feast Wishes, and Father/Daughter Field Day. More importantly, the friendships our students make at Stone Ridge and with our sister schools around the world are ones that our students cherish for life. Choosing the right school, not only for the student but also for the family, is one of the most important decisions a family can make. Every child is unique, and finding the right educational match is the key to her success. For many girls, a single-sex school is a perfect environment for academic growth and fostering development in extracurricular talents, leadership, and self-confidence. Boys and girls learn differently. Teachers at girls' schools can capitalize on the girls' learning styles, giving them a vital skillset to build upon. Students tend to display their intelligence and curiosity in an all-girls classroom setting without the worry of social stigma. This confidence, mainly gained at a young age, carries into the students' more advanced studies.

Sage Ridge School is a fully accredited member of the Northwest Association of Independent Schools (NWAIS) and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. In 1996, community leaders, parents, and educators came together with a vision to augment the area's educational opportunities by providing the first college preparatory school serving the Truckee Meadows. Those founders set forth the following goals: Challenge students through an integrated, core college prep curriculum Generate excitement for learning Foster self-discipline while nourishing self-confidence Emphasize and incorporate sound ethical and moral values in all that it does Encourage a sense of social responsibility Serve a diverse student population Provide adequate need-based financial assistance for qualified applicants Offer a wide range of extra and co-curricular activities Require a high standard of conduct Prepare students for subsequent academic challenges of the most rigorous nature Deciding where to send your child to school is one of the hardest decisions parents face today.

Moreover, we prepare students for college while embracing their creativity and passions. We strive to reflect the greater Reno community and look for students who are willing to stretch and challenge themselves academically.

It only takes a few moments of conversation with a Sage Ridge student to realize that something unusual is happening in and out of our school's classrooms. Central to the Sage Ridge education is the everyday relationship between students and teachers. Students collaborate with faculty in a safe, compassionate environment strengthened by shared values, self-reliance, and optimism. Our faculty works with all students, addressing their strengths and weaknesses to acquire the necessary knowledge, skills, and dispositions to succeed in their collegiate careers. Classes are the hubs of learning where students share ideas, work together to solve problems, and take ownership of their learning. College prep classes in all departments are small and allow teachers and students to get to know each other and work together daily. Because of this individual attention and one-on-one support, Sage Ridge School students achieve notable success with their coursework. We take pride in the fact that no one falls through the cracks. We provide our students with a challenging college preparatory curriculum that is developmentally appropriate for intellectually capable adolescents. Our curriculum classes are led by engaging and dedicated teachers who have high expectations for all students while always putting the students first. These outstanding teachers use our Pillars of Respect, Integrity, Community, Courage, and Scholarship as a framework for class discussions and atmosphere, creating an educational environment where students feel supported, respected, included, and safe. In our Middle School and Upper School, students strive to achieve academic success and healthy personal development. The curriculum for Grades 4-12 is carefully crafted to build from year to year students' content knowledge and skill set. Students who leave our Middle School are prepared to be successful for Upper School and with the foundation for a lifetime of learning and growth. Year after year, our Upper School students are well prepared for higher education, with 100 percent of graduating Seniors continuing their studies at colleges and universities throughout the United States.
  21. At Pacific Ridge School, our mission statement guides everything that we do. Its pillars - academic excellence, ethical Responsibility, and global engagement - support our academic program, as well as the vast number of co-curricular offerings, extra-curricular activities, and opportunities our students explore. Its aims - preparation for college and purposeful life - are realized by students who come to understand that learning is a joyful, life-long pursuit and that the world contains many kinds of classrooms. At the heart of Pacific Ridge School are the multi-faceted interactions between our students, peers, and teachers. This is a community designed to give its members space to grow one that provides the opportunity to stretch, along with the support and guidance needed to do it successfully. As our students challenge themselves academically, explore assumptions from new perspectives, and become aware of their roles as members of a global community, they discover the kinds of people they would like to become. Academic excellence at Pacific Ridge prepares students for college and life beyond. Our faculty have designed a curriculum that emphasizes rigorous, college-preparatory study, while a wide array of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities engage and inspire students every day. In our program, students find that learning is a lifelong pursuit, and the world contains many kinds of classrooms. Integrating content and values across academic disciplines and throughout the educational experience is central to our mission. Students learn to make connections between and beyond traditional disciplines in a way that adds depth, breadth, and purpose to learning. Our co-curricular programs, including service-learning and global education, give students hands-on opportunities to take their learning beyond the classroom walls. At Pacific Ridge, we aim to educate responsible, involved citizens of both the local community and the world at large and to show students that their studies can make a meaningful impact on their lives and the lives of others. Ethical Responsibility is one of the three critical components of our mission, grounding academic excellence, and global engagement as all three components lead students toward a purposeful life. Students in every grade put ethics into practice, locally and globally, in a year-long experiential program of Service Learning. Students meet during a weekly class period to gain academic, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills that they apply out in the community. The Global Travel program exposes students to ethical issues affecting cultures and societies worldwide. By 11th and 12th grade, students are prepared to routinely recognize and consider ethical issues as they appear in their academic studies and the world around them. Service-Learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection. This approach enriches each student's academic experience, teaches civic and ethical Responsibility, and strengthens communities for the common good. Built into the curriculum and the school day, the Service Learning program guides students to take abstract concepts from the classroom and apply them in real-world situations. Students meet during a weekly class period to gain academic, teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills to assist them in their projects, which vary by grade. Service Learning projects require students to collaborate with both local and global communities to reach very concrete goals. At Pacific Ridge, global engagement encompasses both perspective and action. Students aspire to a global outlook by immersing themselves in a community or culture other than their own, whether near or far. Students pursue engagement in that community or culture through academic enrichment, cultural and linguistic immersion, and service work. These activities lead to an understanding of the interdependency of cultures and the inspiration to act for the world's good. Pacific Ridge School attracts teachers who are passionate about their craft. Our faculty members come from around the country and the world, having studied at top universities. They bring with them a wealth of experience, global perspectives, and a desire to innovate. In addition to academic disciplines, teachers are organized into grade-level, collaborative teams that meet twice weekly to share instructional best practices, discuss ways to integrate the curriculum and ensure that each student is challenged and supported to reach their potential.
  22. Oak Ridge Military Academy is a unique community of caring educators and mentors who come alongside youth to help them meet their needs and build them into successful student leaders. ORMA creates an environment that fosters sound values, encourages learning, and provides opportunities to practice positive influence today so they will shape cultures tomorrow. This vision is rooted in the belief that Character, Knowledge, and Influence are the building blocks of Leadership. The Oak Ridge experience begins with adult mentors in and out of the classroom who are experienced leaders, caring for each child. Character is shaped through the positive peer pressure of Cadet Leaders, community projects, and Chapel programs. ORMA’s dedicated faculty is instrumental in encouraging Cadets to learn and equip them with the tools to develop their communication and study skills. Cadets learn to think with their heads and their hearts as they prepare to lead others. The opportunity to exercise Leadership is another distinctive quality of Oak Ridge Military Academy. While first a college-preparatory school, the military structure affords Cadets with positions to positively influence their peers. These skills will set them apart in centers for higher learning and their chosen professions after college. Oak Ridge Military Academy offers an incredibly diverse Corps of Cadets. The Corps is comprised of youth from across the nation and around the world. They come from North Carolina and California, China and Russia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Europe and the Middle East.

  23. 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. Though we talk about living in an increasingly small world, the truth is that though our world may have "shrunk," many of us have lost touch with the neighbors next door. While our sense of community is being lost in our neighborhoods, we begin with a community at Lake Ridge Academy. We are a diverse community of families who seek an outstanding educational experience for our children. We are a community of students who thrive in a learning environment where we are known, loved, and held to a high standard by our teachers. We are a community of mentors, scholars who value an intense intellectual debate as much as we cherish a child's smiling face. We are also a community that embraces our cultural differences and believes that understanding and appreciating those differences makes us better world citizens. Within this caring community of learners, we offer an educational experience that few schools can match. From the time our students start kindergarten, they are immersed in an inquiry-based education to pique their innate curiosity. Beginning with the youngest, our students learn to ask the right questions and how to find answers, essential skills in an ever-changing world. This approach to education helps us develop independent learners and fulfill our mission of developing confident young people who think critically and creatively. We have followed the wishes of our founders by offering an exemplary developmentally appropriate college preparatory curriculum. We are a school where hard-working students excel. Our graduates are known for their outstanding communication skills and ability to think and work independently. While we offer several unique programs, like our graduate certificate programs in scientific research, fine arts, and global citizenship, along with our K-12 foreign language program, we ground our students in the basics. Understanding the importance of math and science in the 21st Century, we continue to be a math and science education leader in the Cleveland area. Beginning in kindergarten, our math program lays the foundation for understanding algebra, geometry, and calculus. Our high achieving math students begin taking algebra in sixth grade. Our advanced Upper School students are offered independent studies in Multivariable Calculus and Differential Equations. Taking advantage of a 93-acre campus with woods and pond that serves as an outdoor laboratory for our K-12 students, our environmental program begins with labs in kindergarten. It ends with our Upper School's Honors Environmental Studies class. Our Upper School offers honors and AP classes in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. We also offer our students unique courses like Anatomy and Physiology and Developmental Biology and Embryology for students interested in the medical profession. Our Fine Arts program is one of the areas best. Believing that each student at Lake Ridge Academy possesses their own unique set of artistic talents and skills, our arts programs begin in the earliest grades. From kindergarten through eighth grade, we engage our students in many art media, musical arts, and regular performances. Students enjoy a wide range of offerings from AP Art to Musical Theater Lab in the Upper School. Our newly developed jazz program hosts visiting professors from area colleges to work with our young performers. Our Thespian Society has produced incredible musicals and dramas like our award-winning state production of The Imaginary Invalid. The accolades our academic programs have received do not stop there. Our graduates will tell you that the outstanding education they received at Lake Ridge Academy more than prepared them for the rigors of college. They will tell you that the opportunities they had in and out of the classroom gave them an advantage over their college classmates. They will also tell you that what they miss most about Lake Ridge Academy is the love and support that they felt within this community, a community with the values of integrity, respect, scholarship, and personal best at its core.
  24. Blue Ridge School is a boarding school for boys, with grades nine through twelve. We are a private school that serves young men who respond well to small classes, a structured environment, and a strong community sense. Our faculty challenges each boy to reach beyond his current performance level and expectation to discover his potential. We develop character by nurturing qualities such as integrity, courage, perseverance, and empathy. The average class size is eight, and the average student load per teacher is 40. This allows teachers to give personalized attention and to individualize their teaching materials for each student. Blue Ridge School understands that boys learn differently than girls, and the School uses a Learning Model explicitly designed for boys. Social activities, the arts, clubs, community service, and athletics are valuable vehicles for young men's development. Blue Ridge School offers some co-curricular programs that build self-esteem and develop leadership and teamwork skills. Blue Ridge School has been built upon the values of integrity, civility, and a strong work ethic. Our CODE OF CONDUCT is unique in that it is written for both our students and the adult members of our community. Additionally, our code incorporates the concept of Brother's Keeper – promoting a peer culture of responsibility and obligation to each other. Blue Ridge School's campus is located twenty miles from Charlottesville, Virginia, and only about 2 hours from Washington D.C. and Richmond, Virginia. Our campus, which comprises nearly 750 acres, lies at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Every day, Blue Ridge School works with young men to hone their strengths, realize their potential, and move confidently into the future. As a school, we expect no less of ourselves. We specifically focus on helping boys reach their potential through personalized, structured, innovative learning practices in a college-preparatory, all-boarding community. The Blue Ridge School faculty believe that: A structured, systematic approach to learning, which emphasizes study skills, time management skills, and organization skills, and provides time and resources for help and improvement, will motivate young men to try to achieve and prepare for the challenges of adulthood. An all-male, all-boarding environment facilitates bonding and focuses on learning and developing leadership skills with minimal distractions. A regular program for worship and reflection promotes spiritual and moral awareness and growth. The educational program should be student-centered that students should be active participants in the learning and assessment process that students are responsible for their learning. Our faculty and staff's most critical role is to serve as advisors or surrogate parents for the boys. The advisor-student relationship sets the tone for participation in, appreciation of, and buy-in to the total Blue Ridge experience. Our Code of Conduct is the linchpin and ethical compass upon which Blue Ridge stands. Residence Life is the centerpiece around which every other aspect of the Blue Ridge experience revolves. The human dimension and quality of life surrounding each boy's personal space determine how disposed he is to learning and wanting to be a member of our community. Communal life provides fertile ground for learning responsible decision making, organizing time, developing empathy and acceptance of differences, and becoming team players. A comprehensive co-curricular program is an essential part of the learning and growth experience. Sports, the arts, clubs, service learning, outdoor programs, and social activities are valuable vehicles for developing the unique array of gifts and interests that are part of every young man. Such programs build self-esteem and foster an appreciation for and development of skills in leadership and teamwork. At Blue Ridge School, we encourage each boy to discover his potential and grow into a well-rounded young man. Our atmosphere of support and camaraderie, along with our comprehensive offering of programs, allows boys to try new things both in and out of the classroom. We understand that preparing our boys for college is the ultimate goal of Blue Ridge School. Our College Counseling Program prepares boys for college and helps guide them through the application process with as much or as little support as they require. A diverse student population is essential to the Blue Ridge School experience. For our international students, the English Language Learners Program (ELL) is instrumental in helping each boy assimilate into American culture and hone their English skills in preparation for attending an American college or university. An all-boys school wouldn't be complete without a robust Athletics Program. With over 20 athletic teams, a boy may try sports; he has never had a chance to try in another school environment. And most importantly, perhaps, it is another opportunity to develop their leadership and teamwork skills for life. Together, all of these unique yet complementary programs facilitate learning and exploration. The success and self-discovery young men can achieve through involvement in these various programs is what makes a Blue Ridge School education an invaluable asset for a lifetime.
  25. The first phase (the willing phase) from birth to age 7, sees the formation of the child’s physical body and the development of the will are paramount. This is the stage at which children live through their hands and the Kindergarten child learns by doing. The children learn about themselves, each other, and the world around them by engaging in creative play, music, dance, art craft, and domestic crafts such as baking and cleaning. The routine and repetition help the children to develop self-discipline in a nurturing environment. Soft colors and natural materials surround the children with beauty and inspire their creativity.The second phase (the feeling phase) 7-14 years is when the heart and lungs harmonize. The rhythmic system is developing in conjunction with the feeling of life. Subjects are delivered in a creative and integrated way through the teacher's imaginative life. The children develop a sense of everything being connected to the whole. A belief in truth, beauty, and goodness, and a connection to the world is paramount. The third phase (the thinking phase) from adolescence to adulthood, sees the young person developing their intellect. The emphasis is now on developing powers of reasoning and judgment. The focus lies with developing their abstract thinking and artistic sensitivity. At the core of Steiner’s principles is the belief that true education must encompass the whole child within the context of human development. It is aimed at their spiritual, emotional, intellectual, and physical development in a harmonious and balanced way.
