The pandemic created a time of increased isolation and decreased connection, which simultaneously created a boom in the number of devices and screen time to which children have access. Certainly, ...morethere has been a need for device time for school, and for many grades at RA, we provided a Chromebook computer to students who didn`t already have their own device, enabling them to do more than just join Google Meets. During the parent technology evening, we talked a bit about the ways that we keep students safe technologically and programmatically while on campus. But, particularly for the non-school owned devices your children use, there are several things you might consider as you work to keep your child safe while online at home and on the road. hide

RA is a very special place filled with love and kindness. I have a child in 2nd, 5th, and 6th grade who all enjoy learning and can`t wait to go to school, they truly love their school! The teachers challenge them and help each student on an individual level, helping them succeed at their highest potential. Every staff member knows every child and every student has respect for all of their classmates. This is a happy environment and the best place for a child to grow with confidence, kindness, and academic success. We love our RA family.

Ridgefield Academy has been a wonderful school for our children. It is a warm and supportive community of caring teachers and talented administrators who partner with parents to bring out the best in kids. They understand that learning can be both joyful and challenging and that children learn best when they feel known and valued. All 4 of my children have truly thrived there.
