Welcome, International Students!
Lake Ridge Academy welcomes international applicants from around the world! Our international families are attracted to our rigorous college preparatory academic program that offers curriculum flexibility for first-year international students, exceptional college counseling, and an established international support system. Lake Ridge Academy is located outside Cleveland, Ohio, on a large 93-acre campus. Our Midwest location makes it central to both the east and west coasts of the United States.
We value the diversity and perspective our international students bring to campus. We believe that international students enrich our community. Bringing together people from multiple cultures into one classroom creates a positive and productive learning experience for everyone in our community.
You can virtually visit a few of our campus facilities including our newest building, Kemper Science and Engineering, along with our Fine Arts building and Rob Hall gymnasium (select the green dots on the doors to enter a new building).
