Where learning comes to life

When our students look back on the events that shaped their K-12 years, they won’t remember learning by rote, tedious lectures, or multiple-choice tests.

They’ll recall activities and opportunities that made learning come to life. Consider the inquiry-based study of insects in first grade that examines life cycles and cultivates empathy, dyeing fibers and making candles in 4th grade as part of a study on early explorers, conducting the trials of Socrates and Rospierre in a 10th-grade history class, and the fact that 100 percent of our students participate in our school’s many community service projects. 

It’s all a direct byproduct of our commitment to Empowered Advancement, the philosophy that better enables Lake Ridge Academy students to perform academically, see globally, and succeed individually.
