Affordability
Our Commitment to Financial Support
Middle-class families, with jobs colored blue to white, are the backbone of American Society. With their quest for home ownership and desire for a better future for their children, these families, who are the most self-reliant segment of our population, epitomize what we think of as the American way of life.
Almost fifty years ago, it was families like these with the dream of creating a better educational opportunity for their children, who founded Lake Ridge Academy. As the decades since its founding have passed, Lake Ridge Academy has stayed true to its mission and continues to prepare its students for a changing world. Lake Ridge Academy provides tuition assistance to the talented children of our community by offering a combination of financial aid, grants, and merit scholarships, making our school affordable for families interested in Lake Ridge Academy's outstanding educational opportunity.
