Our Community

Returning to Ruyton in 2012, with my daughter starting in the ELC, reminded me of all the things I cherished from my own time as a student at the School. The educational opportunities and extracurricular experiences coupled with a tremendously supportive and engaged community are the qualities that particularly resonated with me.
