Philosophy
The Ridgewood Public Schools exist to help all of the children of the school district realize optimum personal development and to participate in and contribute to their democratic society.
To the end that such personal development may be realized, the instructional program emphasizes the dignity and worth of each individual as well as the importance of the fundamental skill subjects and the creative arts. In implementing the instructional program, the schools stress developing concepts, making comparisions and drawing conclusions; developing proper attitudes toward basic human values; developing respect for authority and hard work; and developing wholesome personalities.
To the end that youth participate in and contribute to a democratic society, emphasis are placed on the importance of flexibility and adjustment to a fast-changing world; and participation in the democratic process appropriate to the the child's developmental level.
