Program Description: The Ridge School of Anne Arundel County is dedicated to serving the educational and social-emotional needs of its students. The school is a nonpublic, twelve-month full day general education, special education and residential school that serves students who reside at our residential treatment center and group home, as well as day students who reside in the community. Our goal is to provide a learning environment where every student is successful and to individualize learning in such a way that students develop effective strategies for use in other environments. The school uses a multidisciplinary approach to develop treatment and education plans designed to enable students to meet their IEP goals and objectives. Student achievement and behavior management is supported by implementation of school wide programs such as the MANDT behavior management system, Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program, and extracurricular activities. The teaching staff consists of teachers who meet all Maryland State Department of Education certification requirements. All students are given instruction in all academic content areas. In addition, students in grades 9 through 12 receive necessary coursework to meet graduation requirements to earn a regular high school diploma or a certificate of high school completion. Areas of instruction include a full range of academics, social skills, study skills, and vocational skills and training.
