A private secondary school on the Tagaytay ridge, Grades 7 to 12, since 1998.
A small school on the ridge
Tanglaw Ridge Academy is a private secondary school in Tagaytay City for Grades 7 to 12. Tanglaw means a lamp, a light that shows the way, and that is what we try to be for the 640 young people who learn here.
Classes are small, our 38 teachers know their learners by name, and we expect hard work, good manners and care for one another. Our Senior High offers the STEM, ABM and HUMSS strands.
