Founded in 1889, Ridley College is an independent, Co-educational, boarding & university-preparatory school for Grades JK – 12, located in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.Ridley students are empowered to embrace their individuality, develop who they are, strive for who they will be, and define the lives they will lead. They develop the intellectual, physical, emotional, and social skills needed to succeed. They are inspired to acquire the knowledge, explore the truths, and nurture the values that will allow them to lead flourishing lives.The Ridley experience integrates a traditional liberal arts education with individual learning, the International Baccalaureate (IB) programme, a learner-driven culture and campus community, and a commitment of service to others. This unique combination creates students who are focused, interested, challenged, and engaged — in the classroom, in athletic competition, and after school.
