Meet the Staff at Ridge Manor Christian Academy

At Ridge Manor Christian Academy we take pride in our team. All of our staff is certified and trained to help bring the best education and care for each student.  Our school is a place where your child can grow both academically and socially. Our experienced and dedicated teachers are committed to providing an education that is challenging and supportive, ensuring that each student reaches their full potential.

At our school we believe in creating a safe, bully free environment where children feel valued and respected. We encourage our students to develop their interests and passions. We also place a strong emphasis on character development working with our families. It takes a village!

Ridge Manor Christian Academy is more than a private school; it is a channel of Christian ministry. As such, staff members are expected to be born-again believers on Jesus Christ and are expected to regularly attend and support a local Bible believing church. Additionally, staff members are expected to maintain a positive Christian testimony both on and off campus.
