IT
WAS in the year 1990 that PAREF, having seen the trend of families
to move to the South, put up the second PAREF preparatory school
- PAREF RIDGEFIELD SCHOOL, a coeducational school for boys and girls,
ages 3 to 5 years old.
Housed in a sprawling, brick bungalow built at
the Southridge School compound in Hillsborough Subdivision, Bo.
Cupang, Muntinlupa City, Ridgefield is a feeder school for Southridge
and Woodrose.
It opened its doors in July of school year 1990-1991
with 61 students in Nursery, Junior Kindergarten and Senior Kindergarten
Levels, adopting an educational approach that is semi - traditional
but enhanced with a lot of developmentally appropriate activities
and new approaches.
Personal formation is integrated with the academic
formation. At their young age, the students are already followed
up by their personal formation tutors following the Tutorial System
a system peculiar to the PAREF schools.
Now 10 years old, Ridgefield has a student
population of 274 students, 99% of whom continue their schooling
either in Southridge or Woodrose.
