Ridgewood Health Professions Academy is a national "model."

It's very nice to see that the National Career Academy Coalition has named the Ridgewood Academy for Health Professions a "model" academy, with an extremely high rating based on a rigorous and detailed assessment. According to the Coalition, "Many academies are reviewed based on the ten National Standards of Practice for career academies, but few are of model status...The passion of your school team, coupled with the support of the school administration, and the intense focus from Valley hospital and Bergen Community College, have created a stellar program for students and the community. The rigor of the curriculum and the depth of your industry partnership are to be commended." Kudos to the RAHP team -- administrators, teachers, students and Valley staff.
