A Great School Gets a New Leader

We’ve blogged before about Ridgeview Classical School, a top Colorado school that combines the Core Knowledge curriculum in grades K-8 with a classical education in high school to powerful effect. The school in Ft. Collins has been consistently ranked at or near the top of the state’s schools every year since opening in 2001.

Comes word that Florian Hild, a high school German and literature teacher, and a friend of Core Knowledge will replace T.O. Moore as principal at Ridgeview. Read all about it in an article about Hild and Ridgeview in the Coloradoan.

“Families move across the country to send their children to Ridgeview,” Hild said. “Teachers take a 50 percent pay cut to be here. I don’t know of any other school that is doing what we’re doing.” Hild will officially become principal July 1.

Congratulations to Florian. And Ridgeview.
