Campus Life

Community

Preparation for life requires a solid foundation in leadership and social skills. Community staff working together has developed an experiential curriculum that provides the Spring Ridge Academy students the opportunity to refine and incorporate new choices and skills into their everyday lives. SRA students are challenged with a wide variety of activities from peer leadership, community service and team building to checkbook management, public speaking, and etiquette. Knowing how to act, whether in an academic setting, a formal dance with teenage boys, or an emergency situation, builds confidence and trust in a young woman�s ability to meet future challenges.

Big Sisters

As part of the leadership program, students on Phases III and IV act as a ‘big sister’ to new students. The responsibilities of a big sister include assisting the new student in understanding the program, meeting other students and familiarizing the new student with the structure and daily schedule. This relationship also serves as a foundation of support, honesty and trust for new students.

Recreation

The recreation program at Spring Ridge Academy consists of on campus intramural sports. Students have the opportunity to learn, practice and enhance athletic skills. The intramural sports offered include softball, basketball and soccer. A variety of other games and sports are played casually to emphasize teamwork and fun.

Service

Service is an integral part of student learning at Spring Ridge Academy. Students participate in service weekly. A portion of the service program at SRA consists of students working in groups on ongoing projects. Some of the past and ongoing projects include on campus beautification, student government fund raisers, and creating donations for charitable organizations. Spring Ridge Academy believes in giving back to the larger community. As service to our community, students do a monthly community clean up in Spring Valley, AZ.
