Our Dedicated Faculty
At Ridley, our faculty leaders are more than teachers or lecturers. They are mentors, life advisors, and friends.
Being a student at Ridley is demanding, but our faculty are passionate about inspiring the students to develop in all aspects of life - mind, body, and spirit. In addition to being masters of their craft and discipline, our teachers are expert learners who model curiosity, intellectual humility, and a zest for lifelong learning. Together, we strive to lead our best lives and serve as adult mentors to young people who yearn to cultivate flourishing lives.

All adult members of our school, including our talented support staff, see themselves as lead-learners and mentors, called upon to deliver our mission and vision. Everyone is committed to our students’ success. A hallmark of Ridley is the staff and faculty’s involvement in school life, with many serving as advisors, coaches, and sponsors for clubs and activities.
Great teachers see themselves as learners - and they see learning through the eyes of their students.
My teachers here are essentially my best friends. I can go to them whenever I have any problems…they are always ready to offer their help.
