The Ridley motto, Terar Dum Prosim, translated to May I Be Consumed in Service, continues to be central to the education of Ridley students. Service to house, school, community and to causes around the world involves Ridleians on and off campus. Worthy causes such as Bethlehem Place, Amnesty International, Breast Cancer, The Terry Fox Run, Out of the Cold and the World Wildlife Federation all benefit by student participation.

Graduates of Ridley regularly lead charitable efforts for health care, United Way, underprivileged children, their churches, their schools, and the list goes on and on.

Why support Ridley? Because the world needs more Ridleians. People who will live by the school motto. Your support of Ridley College provides the difference between a good school and a great one, one which will make a difference through its graduates in ways large and small. Your donations are investments in the future leaders of our world and they pay dividends for many lifetimes.
