RIDGEWOOD'S HISTORY

Ridgewood Preparatory School was founded in 1948 by Ottis O. Stuckey as a college preparatory school for boys in grades kindergarten through twelve. The school became co-educational in 1952, and the campus was moved in 1972 to the present address at 201 Pasadena Avenue in Metairie, Louisiana.

Ridgewood today remains an independent unit school for pre- kindergarten through twelfth grade. The school is operated as a non-profit corporation aided by an advisory board.

PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of Ridgewood is to provide a total education to help form the complete individual. To implement its philosophy, the Ridgewood faculty focuses its talents on the practical fulfillment of these goals:

Growth in intellectual skills--critical thinking, thoughtful analysis and expression, computation, accurate and interpretative reading.
Awareness of both the physical and social worlds, their natures and histories, their problems and prospects.
Deepened appreciations in aesthetics, philosophy, and religion.
Responsible participation in the home and in organized society.
Preparation for occupational choice, usually at the professional level.
