At Eagle Ridge Academy, we follow the pursuit of Veritas, Probitas, and Pulchritudo, identifying in Latin the central tenets of our school: Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. Over Spring Break, we asked families how they were pursuing these tenets outside of the classroom. We will be sharing the answers to hopefully inspire your family to make a Classical connection this summer! When families and teachers work together, we can inspire a life-long passion for learning. 💙💛💚

Schools of Logic & Rhetoric Gryphons Simon and Gwen spent time over Spring Break reading as a family and pursuing the goodness of an exciting story. They read "The Hunger Games" by Suzanne Collins, which asks questions about good and evil and kept them guessing about what would happen next! #GoGryphons #ClassicalEducation

"I was drawn to Eagle Ridge because of its strong reputation and am excited to work in a building with students of all ages, " shared Mr. Miller.

When he's not at school, you can find him sailing, camping, biking, woodworking, playing guitar, and being a proud husband and father of two. We are excited for Mr. Miler to join the Eagle Ridge Academy community! 🎉 #GoGryphons

Over Spring Break, 15 School of Rhetoric students travelled to Italy (Capri, Rome, Pompeii, Ostia) and Greece (Athens, Delphi) to experience the Truth, Beauty, and Goodness of their curricula with their own eyes! In the second picture, the group is sitting in front of the Temple of Apollo, where thousands of people from the ancient world travelled to ask the priestess Pythia their most important questions. In order to interpret her response, one needed to “Know Thyself”. #GoGryphons #ClassicalEducation

The NBA finals have us thinking back on the Students vs. Staff Basketball game that took place in April. 🏀 While the student team led in the first half, ERA staff members fought hard in the second half and secured a 28-24 victory! 🔥 Students - you better be practicing your free throws this summer so you can take the W next year! #GoGryphons

School of Grammar Gryphons Olivia and Brooks spent a day at the Westwood Hills Nature Center over Spring Break. While there, they learned the TRUTH about animal adaptations like camouflage, saw the BEAUTY of nature, and displayed GOODNESS of character when taking turns and listening to the naturalists. Amazing experience, scholars! #GoGryphons #ClassicalEducation

On May 29, the Class of 2026 celebrated their commencement at Calvary Reformed Church. 🎓Speeches were given by Valedictorian Lakshitha Potini, Student Speaker Bhavik Patel, and School of Rhetoric Teacher Talia Fittante. Music was performed by the School of Rhetoric Symphonic Orchestra and the National Anthem was performed by Michael Witkowski. As per ERA tradition, the junior class presented each graduate with a rudis sword, which were traditionally given to gladiators to signify the completion of their training. 🗡️

Eagle Ridge Academy is proud of the Class of 2026 for all that they have accomplished and who they have become during their time at ERA. In whatever ERA’s newest class of alumni sets out to do, the foundation they have built with the values of truth, beauty, and goodness will serve them well. 👏

THANK YOU to all of the incredible volunteers that helped make our School of Grammar end-of-year classroom parties so fun! 🌈 We cannot believe that tomorrow, May 28, is the last day of school for our School of Grammar scholars. The last day of school is a half day, and grades K-4 will be dismissed before lunch at 11:00 a.m. on May 28. If a last day of lunch order form was completed by May 15, a bag lunch will be delivered to your Grammar child's class to take home. As a reminder, students in grades K-4 may wear free dress tomorrow at no cost if they follow the free dress guidelines. Students in grades 5-12 will have a full day of school (1:10 p.m. dismissal) tomorrow. You got this, scholars! ☀️ #GoGryphons
