Pacific Ridge is an outstanding school. The teachers are excellent and passionate about teaching. The facilities are state of the art and the Global Vantage program (e.g., kids travel to China in the ninth grade)gives them international experiences and a global perspective. The service learning clubs are meaningful: one club produces an award winning magazine, and another raises money to bring Israeli, Palestinian, and American teenagers for dialogue and leadership training. The kids are articulate, engaged, and are well prepared for college. Close Quote
