What Makes West Ridge Academy Different?
West Ridge Academy is consistently a top-performing school offering a traditional rigorous education. Our students learn the foundations to excel in their education and life. Our 8th graders have a 100% success rate in acceptance to their high school of choice and are prepared for their educational journey ahead.
West Ridge Academy’s curriculum, the Core Knowledge Sequence, encompasses language arts, mathematics, science, history, geography, fine arts, and physical education. The curriculum is characterized by knowledge that is context-rich, cumulative, content specific, and coherent.
West Ridge Academy is focussed on providing a strong education in a safe and supportive environment. We stay away from cultural trends, hot-button topics and the latest wave of social ideas, allowing parents to lead their values in the home. Our personalized, data-driven academics help your child perform to the best of his/her ability without distractions.
Respect, Responsibility, Gratitude, Community, Self-Control, Integrity, Compassion, and Perseverance. These pillars are taught every day and incorporated into our culture and curriculum. We daily model, recognize and reinforce these pillars in our school.
West Ridge Academy offers a warm, small-school environment where every child is truly known. With small class sizes and a low student-to-teacher ratio, we provide individualized learning with strong parent partnerships. We encourage our parents to volunteer in the school and make our families a part of our community.
Core Knowledge encompasses more than just its curriculum. West Ridge Academy’s Pillars of Virtue define our school culture and are expected behavior for WRA students. Character is developed through a coherent program of expectations, modeling, and study of historical and literary figures.
