There is something special about Ridgefield Academy. Dedicated and innovative teachers in small classes nurture our students with individual attention and encouragement. Through our emphasis on the whole child and our high standards of achievement, we strive to help children, from preschool through middle school, become thoughtful, independent, and confident learners.
We foster the natural curiosity of our students and seek to develop in them a love of learning that will unleash their future. Our curriculum combines the traditional, core subject areas of language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies with a rich program of music, art, and drama designed to inspire our students and spark their creativity.

Cornerstones
Report
At Ridgefield Academy we believe that the preschool through middle school years are critical to the successful development of a child, as a learner, thinker, creator, and life participant. Our preschool through grade 8 structure, which carefully melds academic challenge with social support, and without upper school pressures, is ideal for children in every grade to grow at the right pace, intellectually and emotionally.
Why PS - Grade 8
Report
Ridgefield Academy students are known by high school admission directors for their outstanding academic preparation, confidence, character, and leadership qualities. While many choose to attend public school after RA, two-thirds of our students apply and matriculate to top-tier independent day or boarding schools.
Community
Report
Ridgefield Academy is more than a school, it's a community. We believe that a strong partnership between school and home is essential to a good education. Through strong relationships and good communication with parents, we identify opportunities, address challenges, and develop appropriate goals for our students and our school.
