Letter from SRA Parent


Spring Ridge Academy is 
Exceptional, Special, and Magical.
It is a place for people like us, who have learned the Love is not enough.  Love is not enough.
If it were, we would not be here.
A close athletic contest, a game of seven, transports us
Not because it measure relative athletic ability; but because it
Measures effort, commitment, and courage.
A good TV drama, like Grey’s Anatomy or ER, transports us because it
Compresses, focuses, distills and magnifies the issue of life. 
So athletic contests and TV dramas have the power to transport us to a different time and place.
Spring Ridge Academy is magical, transporting and profound
Because it compresses, focuses, distills and magnifies
What matters in our lives.
And it requires us to examine our lives
With effort, commitment, and courage
But it is special
Not because it transports us to a different time and place,
It is special because it engages us here and now
In this time and place
In the Matter of Life.
So mark this time and place well
Because the like of this place has not been seen, and its full measure has yet to be taken.
-SRA Parent
