We are dedicated to our mission of “sending into a changing world confident young people of integrity who think critically and creatively while embracing the joy of lifelong learning.”

We are Cleveland’s only west side K-12 co-educational independent school, serving 375 young minds. From the formative kindergarten activities to rigorous college preparatory courses, students at Lake Ridge receive the personalized attention that allows them to thrive both in school and throughout life.

We strive to educate the whole child -- using the 4C’s -- Curriculum, Character, Creativity and Community. Lake Ridge Academy is a very special place. There is a unique feeling when one walks down the hallways and into the classrooms. We have outstanding faculty and staff and an incredible student body that is eager to learn.

Our experienced faculty forms the cornerstone in creating our caring community of learners. While our foundation is academics, we offer many opportunities to learn through sports, the arts, technology, student leadership and community activities.

As a next step, I invite you to visit our campus and spend a day with us. You will go away amazed at what we accomplish in bringing Curriculum, Character, Creativity and Community to life.

Best regards,

Carol L. Klimas
President
