Who we are, what we do Russell Ridge Center for the Design of Self-Directed Learning. Not all people learn in the same way, find their dreams at the end of the same rainbow, learn to walk or read in the same month, or give back to our world of the same gifts. The Russell Ridge Center is committed to helping each individual discover and manage their pathway to an inspiring future.
Parents are a critical ingredient in the education of their children.
Parents share in instruction decisions, are a participant in the classroom, and work in a cooperative, effective learning environment with their children and the public school teacher. At the Russell Ridge Center students, families and staff co-design an individualized plan. Russell Ridge Center is housed in a double-portable adjacent to Glacier Park School. We believe that the adults in a child's world are the most significant models for how she or he will see themselves as learners. We encourage parents and community members to learn with us, teach a class, mentor a child, and share their resources and ideas with us.
