We at The Ridge School are excited to announce the launch of our latest initiative, RidgeUp, by Headmaster Frank Rumbol.
What is RidgeUp?
We believe that RidgeUp has the potential to be one of the best private school programs in South Africa for young boys. This program is designed to stretch the perspectives and aspirations of The Ridge’s young boys through a seminar-based approach to literature, poetry, short stories, novels, and novellas.
We want to create a space for children to learn for the love of learning, not just for an external reward. RidgeUp is voluntary and has already proven popular, with well over 50% of sixth and seventh graders signing up and participating in sessions on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
The program's goal is to help young people understand the critical role of history in shaping the world we live in today. Thus, The Ridge School has carefully chosen reading material that covers topics such as cognitive capacity and EQ, gender and race, and the importance of generosity of spirit.
What You Need To Know About RidgeUp As A Parent
RidgeUp is designed to help your young boys become thought leaders. Through a seminar-based approach, the program challenges children to engage with texts and reflect on them critically.
The program is completely voluntary and not linked to conventional marks. This means that children are motivated by their intrinsic desire to learn, rather than external awards.
RidgeUp is not just limited to The Ridge School. The program seeks to forge partnerships with other schools and communities to create dynamic and impactful learning experiences.
The seminar-based approach of RidgeUp reflects the kind of learning experiences children will have in high school and beyond, where they will be increasingly required to engage in discourse and articulate their views.
RidgeUp will continue to evolve and grow in the coming years. The program will be an ongoing initiative, and The Ridge School is excited to see the impact it has on young people's learning experiences.
Through this program, we hope to develop a community of thought leaders who can articulate their views and make a positive impact on the world. We look forward to seeing the positive impact that RidgeUp will have on your child's learning experience.
