Why Boarding School In Liberia?
Boarding schools are well known for their academic excellence and Ricks Institute is no exception.
In addition to our small class sizes compared to a typical Liberian school, a curriculum beyond the prescribed Ministry of Education of Liberia’s curriculum, our boarding students enjoy the distinct advantage of having an “extended family” that includes some of the greatest teachers in Liberia and students from around Liberia and beyond.
Our program allows our faculty to seize every teachable moment whether in the classroom, around the dinner table, on the sporting ground or in the dorm.
