The Douglass Ridley School

We believe that education is a powerful force for justice, liberation, and joy. Rooted in the Reggio Emilia approach, and honoring the legacies of Frederick Douglass and Florida Ruffin Ridley, we honor children as capable, curious, and creative learners who construct knowledge through exploration, collaboration, and meaningful experiences. Our school is committed to creating an inclusive and equitable learning environment that honors diverse histories, voices, and cultures. We empower all students to feel seen, valued, and inspired to drive change.
