School History & Details

Ridley College is based at St.Catherines, Ontario, Canada. The school is both for day scholars and also a boarding school. The founder, J.O. Miller, had a vision for Ridley College, that is one of the most renowned, earliest, and most distinguished boarding institutions in Canada, in 1888. He was of the view that since we are constantly undergoing change, the only way to thrive is to adopt a progressive, global perspective. When Ridley College first opened its doors in 1889, it accepted students from Canada and other countries across the Atlantic. Ridley College developed as a thriving institution that upheld its traditions while continuously developing fresh approaches to address contemporary problems.
