General Information

Description: Ridley College is a co-educational private boarding and day university-preparatory school located in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.

Founded in 1889 under the auspices of its first headmaster, J. O. Miller, the School moved to its present location as a result of a fire in the old school building. Today, Ridley College is widely considered one of Canada's most prestigious private, independent secondary schools. Ridley's current headmaster, Jonathan Leigh, a graduate from Eton College and Cambridge University, succeeded Rupert D. Lane in January 2005.

Originally founded as a boys-only school, Ridley became co-educational in 1973 under headmaster Richard Bradley, a Cambridge classics scholar. Named in honour of Nicholas Ridley, a sixteenth-century Protestant martyr, Ridley College remains tied to its original Anglican origin, but has long welcomed students of other denominations and faiths. The School yearbook is titled Acta Ridleiana.
