Why Forest Ridge?

1. Girls Rule!

100 percent of our leaders are girls, from theater leads and school officers to yearbook editors and team captains.

2. You Are Wired 24-7.

Take advantage of wireless networking anywhere on campus with your personal tablet laptop and our internet connection.

3. Great Teachers.

The teacher who challenges you to identify 400 spots on the world map by year’s end is the same one who jumps out of the ceiling, shaves his head to illustrate a story, goes on a mock medieval Crusade, and has you forage in the woods as part of a study on black bears.

4. Big Network.

Interact with students from more than 150 Sacred Heart Schools worldwide through service, classroom projects and student exchange. Your world view will never be the same!

5. Smart is Cool.

You can get excited about uncovering DNA at a crime scene, debating ethical and political issues or reenacting a historical war or an archaeological dig on an ancient civilization.

6. Opportunities to Shine.

Our no-cut policy in the performing arts and athletics allows every girl to tap into her undiscovered talents and build leadership skills. With five school drama productions and seven sports to choose from, teamwork can take you all the way.

7. No Boys.

They're great to have in your life, but not in the classroom. Get together after hours and enjoy hanging out at dances, working together on community service or chat at sporting events.

8. 208 Years of Sacred Heart Tradition.

Bonding celebrations such as Congé, Goûter, Feast Wishes, Prize Day and Ring Ceremony turn classmates into lifelong friends and build a network of worldwide relationships.

9. Uniforms.

You'll love them. You don't have to think about what you are going to wear to school any more. You can sleep longer in the morning and roll out of bed at the last minute.

10. Choices.

Choose from over 30 different clubs-formed by girls and for girls. They include topics such as videography, cartooning, dance team, knitting, ropes/navigation, gardening and yoga.

11. Travel.

Life-changing opportunities to visit the art museums of Europe, release greenback turtles into the waters of Costa Rica and train students to use computers in Uganda are part of our academic and community service offerings.

12. College Prep.

College Bound. 100 percent of our students graduate and go on to attend colleges and universities around the United States and abroad.

13. You!

Girls dare to follow their passions at Forest Ridge. Here, it's okay to dare to be different and take chances. Come and find your unique gifts and learn from 380 other fascinating, fun and creative young women.
