- Education. Formation. Inclusion.
- A PreK through 12th-grade school in Front Royal, Virginia, that fosters your student`s innate learning potential. From special needs to gifted, DRA is committed to the spiritual, moral, and intellectual development of your student. Our interest is always in your child.
- The Center for Lifelong Learning
- Equipped with new scientific data and a strong belief in the human spirit DRA is taking a fresh look at how students learn. Since its inception, Dominion Ridge Academy has been committed to the spiritual, moral, and intellectual development of its students.
- Classical Education
- For some, classical education means adding the study of classical literature to a school`s curricula. Though DRA incorporates these into the education of its students, it also includes three stages of learning: grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric.
- DRA partners education with formation.
- Through acts of service, students develop compassion, humility, and mercy as crucial character traits that they will take into their future lives. Jesus Christ taught us to serve through His own acts of service. Students participate in many opportunities to serve their peers, elders, families, neighbors, and the world.
