Welcome Message from the Headmaster

Welcome to our Ridge School website. We hope you will gain a sense of what The Ridge School community values and what our School means to the boys in our community.

Our commitment, at The Ridge, is to an educational experience for boys that is filled with impact, rigour and a richly rooted life based on quality values, deep thinking, authenticity, wide areas of experience and a deepening relationship with learning on as many fronts as possible. We pride ourselves on being a happy, warm and welcoming community School where our focus is, first and foremost, on growing and knowing boys.

Deepened learning, thinking and becoming remain at the heart of what we want our boys to experience. Exceptional Olympiad and International Benchmarking test results, the extension of RidgeUp experiences to all our Grades and the introduction of English Masterclasses to Grades 6 and 7 boys, all of this, and much more, help us provide strong growth and learning opportunities.

Strengthened Sport performances and offerings, in several areas, as well as often outstanding Music performances, remain hallmarks of what boys at The Ridge will have exposure to.

Our guiding words (JOY, QUALITY and COMMUNITY) are central to all our efforts. In 2025, our foundational theme is “Stand Up and be Counted”; this stretches into all we intend to mean and offer for the boys who attend The Ridge School.

We often proudly celebrate a School that is committed to our country and our city as well as to values and attributes that will help ensure that the future adult lives of Ridge boys have a high likelihood of being lives of purpose, respectfulness and thoughtful awareness.

 Thank you for your interest in our alive, connected and thinking Prep School for boys.
