Welcome to Ridgeview Global Studies Academy Grades 6-10

Website!

Since opening in 2000, Ridgeview Academy has proudly integrated a Global Studies focus within our K-5 elementary school and we are continuing this same focus throughout our Middle School classes as well.  

Because Ridgeview understands the importance of preparing our students for the technologically-advanced, 

globalized world in which we now live, students will continue to have multi-cultural exposure along with access to cutting edge technology. Taking this approach today will help our students become the global leaders of tomorrow.

​

Ridgeview's Mission Statement:

   In our ever-changing, multicultural world, we will spark the desire in our school family to become responsible and caring decision makers. United, we will provide challenges and skills in a loving environment, empowering everyone to reach his fullest potential.
