Nan Lekòl Douglass Ridley la, nou aprann atravè
Eksplorasyon!
Elèv nou yo kite nou ak pouvwa pou yo konprann mond lan, epi prepare ak tout konpetans ki nesesè pou fè yon diferans ladan l.
Valè fondamantal nou yo
Mwen se yon kirye
Apranti
Mwen poze kesyon, mwen eksplore nouvo lide, epi mwen aksepte defi paske aprantisaj se yon vwayaj dekouvèt.
Mwen kanpe pou
Jistis
Mwen rekonèt enjistis, mwen denonse enjistis, epi mwen travay pou fè kominote m nan yon kote ki pi jis ak ekitab pou tout moun.
Mwen aprann epi grandi
avèk lòt moun
I listen, collaborate, and respect different perspectives because we are stronger when we learn together.
Poukisa pou nou lanse yon lekòl - e poukisa kounye a?
A learning environment built on relationships, curiosity, and community — a place where children are known deeply, where their questions shape the curriculum, and where teachers co-create learning experiences with students instead of delivering them
So I am setting out to build a school — a place where kids are seen and heard, where curiosity drives the learning. A place that equips children not just to succeed, but to shape a more just and connected world.

Tuition Equity Fund
Our mission is to ensure that every child has access to this kind of transformative education—regardless of their family’s income.
The Tuition Equity Fund makes this vision possible. Contributions to the fund directly support families who could not otherwise afford full tuition, ensuring that all children—across income levels, backgrounds, and neighborhoods—have the opportunity to thrive in our classrooms. By giving, you are helping us build a school community that truly reflects Boston and lives up to our mission of equity and excellence in education.
