I think what's unique about Forest Ridge

is that intimate class size allows for the students to make a connection with the teacher and allows for the teacher to not only educate them but be a mentor to them and teach them how to ask questions, how to be a leader, how to be organized, and how to really make their education the best it can be.
Students in Lab Coats

Every day is so much fun when you're at FRA.

In math class, you could be doing fractions, but playing a game while learning. In science, we could be learning about DNA analysis, but our science teacher will pull out a PCR machine and show you how the people in labs actually do it. Everything at FRA is so interactive, and it really feels like a community.
