EVERY MOMENT COUNTS

Eagle Ridge Academy is the first public school in the southwest suburban area specifically dedicated to offering a demanding college preparatory, Classical, liberal arts curriculum. We serve grades kindergarten through twelve. The Academy provides a learning opportunity that, up until now, has only been available at select private schools.
