“The past is another country; they do things differently there”.  These opening words of L.P. Hartley’s famous novel “The Go-Between” (1929) evoke a previous age of endless summers in a perfect landscape. 

School days can be the greatest days of a lifetime.  Ridley College is a genuine blend of respect for its great traditions combined with a continuous respect for the best of modern progression.  We believe in the need for continuous evaluation of what we are to produce globally connected citizens of integrity, intelligence and depth.  All our programmes, academic, athletic, and artistic reflect this in the total inclusion of formal and informal curriculum which represents 21^st century boarding.

Joining Ridley is about so much more than being a member of school.  It means belonging to a community which links you up for life.  Seeing it is the best way to understand what these few brief words can convey.  Experiencing the vibrant happiness of our Canadian school with its deep international connectedness is a true recipe to blend the balance of past, present and future and the contribution each individual can make to the modern world.

We look forward to welcoming you here to get a taste of Ridley College for yourselves.

Yours sincerely,

Jonathan Leigh,
Headmaster.
