FROM THE head of School

Welcome from Mary Rose Guerin, Head of School

Welcome to Forest Ridge School! I am delighted to introduce you to Forest Ridge School of the Sacred Heart, where we believe that education is not simply about acquiring knowledge; it’s about becoming. It’s about growing into the kind of person who speaks up with compassion, thinks deeply with purpose, leads with integrity, and lives in a way that uplifts others. 

Our students are empowered to become changemakers. They are bold in voice, grounded in Sacred Heart values, and inspired by a vision for a more just and loving world. Guided by expert faculty and a future-focused curriculum, learning at Forest Ridge is fueled by curiosity and grounded in real-world application. Our students dive into big questions, tackle complex ideas, and discover how their learning matters, both for themselves and for the world they’re preparing to lead. Our rigorous academic program challenges students to develop confident minds, courageous hearts, and the belief in themselves to make a positive difference in the world. 

At Forest Ridge, we celebrate the whole girl. That means honoring each student for who she is and supporting her journey to become her fullest, most authentic self, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, and socially. Our mission calls us to form young people of courage and character, and we do this in a community where relationships are the heart of everything we do. 

While we cherish the intimacy of our campus community, our reach is truly global. As part of the international Sacred Heart Network, spanning more than 150 schools across 41 countries, our students are connected to a community of learners, leaders, and changemakers worldwide. Through global exchanges, collaborative projects, and shared values, they develop a broader worldview and a deeper understanding of their place in the global community. This connection not only enriches their learning but inspires them to think and act beyond borders with empathy, awareness, and purpose. 

This is a place where every student is known and uplifted. Where leadership is measured not by titles, but by integrity and action. And where girls learn not only how to succeed in the world, but how to shape it for the better. 

Thank you for visiting our website. I invite you to visit campus to learn more about us. From the breathtaking drive up the hill, to the warm welcome you will receive upon your arrival, to the one-of-a-kind programs we offer, you will quickly sense the joy, purpose, and power of a Forest Ridge education.  Schedule a tour and experience firsthand how Forest Ridge empowers girls to lead with courage and compassion.

Sincerely, 

Mary Rose Guerin, Head of School
