Where love of
Learning begins
Admissions
Welcome!
I’m Julian Shettler, the Director of Admissions & Financial Aid here at The Long Ridge School. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our vibrant school community. By viewing our website, you will receive a first look at what makes our school experience unique.
Long Ridge is a place where young students grow, thrive, and develop a lifelong love of learning. Through hands-on projects, outdoor adventures, and countless moments of curiosity, our students become confident, compassionate and capable young people.
As much as it is important for us to get to know you and your child, it’s equally important that you get to know Long Ridge. As you begin your journey to find the right school for your child, please call, visit, and ask questions. It will be my honor to help you every step of the way.
I invite you to connect with me by phone or email and visit for a personal Campus Tour of our 14-acre woodland campus, or start by completing our Inquiry form.
I look forward to showing you The Long Ridge School and guiding you through the Admissions process!
Warmly,
Julian Shettler, J.D., CAEP

The Right Fit
Hear what people are saying…
One of my favorite aspects of a Long Ridge School education is the dual-age classroom. Our family has seen firsthand how this format allows the teachers to really individualize each of our child’s learning. This approach makes their intellectual experience more robust and dynamic and fosters their social and emotional growth. —Shanti Hageman, parent and trustee
Long Ridge is unique. We have a close community, and everyone knows each other. … The Long Ridge School is a one-and-only experience. —Alex M, alumni ‘21
We chose The Long Ridge School for our children because it specializes in early childhood education. Every resource in this institution is dedicated to early education, which is unique in our region. We also value the diverse student body, intentionally small class sizes, multi-age groupings, and the rigorous academic programming administered through experiential, hands-on learning. —Christen DeSantis, alumni parent and former trustee
I have learned that Long Ridge is not just about a place or a building. It’s about that feeling you get when you are with the best teachers and friends you can imagine. —Emmie D, alumni ‘20
