At Pacific Ridge School, the focus is on the whole student. In addition to providing a strong academic foundation in preparation for college work, we help students develop a number of other critical qualities – among them, integrity, dignity, self-respect and respect for others – both inside the classroom and out. Through programs such as Service Learning, Community Life, Clubs, Student Government, Athletics, and Arts, Pacific Ridge students strengthen their ethical convictions, creativity, physical skills, global awareness, and maturity. With their breadth and depth, our programs encourage students to experience opportunities in the Pacific Ridge community, the greater San Diego community, and the world community.
