The mission of Ridgeway IGE School is to help each student become a self-directed, self-motivated, lifelong learner, capable of meeting the challenges faced during a lifetime.
Ridgeway is a magnet school based on the concept of Individually Guided Education (I.G.E.). The Ridgeway philosophy is founded on the idea that ‘success teaches success’ and that students are unique individuals.
When a student is successful every day, this continued success builds a positive self-concept. If a student has a positive self-concept, that student will do his/her best work. If a student does his/her best work that student will be successful. Thus the system builds on itself.
The Ridgeway Elementary PTA serves:
a. To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, place of worship, and
throughout the community;
b. To raise the standards of home life.
c. To advocate for laws that further the education, physical and mental health, welfare and
safety of children and youth;
d. To promote the collaboration and engagement of families and educators in the education
of children and youth; and
e. To engage the public in united efforts to secure the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual,
and social well-being of all children and youth; and
f. To advocate for fiscal responsibility regarding public tax dollars in public education
funding.
