I am fortunate to be an educator at Forest Ridge. My five years here has featured a great deal of change since we all endured the pandemic and I continue to find it to be a special and wonderful place. Administration, faculty, staff and students here are caring, hard working individuals with high integrity, kindness and drive. I am enjoying this year and looking forward to a bright future for our students and that our school.

Our daughter has loved the last 3 years at Forest Ridge. She has thrived academically with teachers that really push her, and it is clear her teachers truly care about her and her success and well-being. The all-girls environment has really let her shine, and while it wasn't the deciding factor for us when choosing a school, it has been an added bonus.
