Turning Today’s Learners Into Tomorrow’s Leaders

Mission Statement

Ryan Academy is an independent, coeducational private school enrolling students in Kindergarten through grade eight. We provide a challenging education which nurtures the intellect and shapes character. Ryan Academy believes that every student is and will continue to be part of a community. To that end, the school actively promotes respect, responsibility, and resourcefulness. The school’s mission promotes a family atmosphere and a spirit of open communication.


Philosophy

Ryan Academy provides a safe and structured environment that fosters learning.   Our focus is the development of the whole child by providing challenges within a nurturing environment where self-discipline, self-esteem and personal responsibility are evident. To accomplish this, class sizes are small so teachers can truly know and accommodate the students’ needs. We recognize that each student is unique and we strive to foster individual strengths and provide support and encouragement in areas that may be weak.  Ryan Academy cultivates the values of respect, integrity and compassion to encourage community responsibility, combat prejudice and engage students as participants in a global community.  Ryan Academy students develop intellectual independence and resourcefulness through inquiry, direct experience and collaboration. 

We have a VISION of children who are without limits and feel loved, respected and encouraged to develop to their fullest potential!
