Portrait of a Graduate
University Fairs
R-MA is pleased to welcome the nation’s top universities on our campus for University Fairs each year. Students have the opportunity to meet with University Admission Representatives to learn about admission requirements, academic programs and campus life while establishing valuable connections during the college application process.
College Readiness Plan
R-MA College Counseling Mission is to facilitate the college admission process for R-MA students and families to find the best academic, social and financial fit for a post-secondary education.
R-MA’s entire student community is immersed in a Going-to-College Culture; this is the Goal of every R-MA graduate. Academic counselors converse in regular dialogue about:
- College aspirations
- Appropriate curriculum for desired career pathways through university admission
- Preparation for college entrance exams
- Deliberate planning when applying to colleges
R-MA’s College Counseling Department emphasizes a team effort – the student, parent, mentor, faculty – all are partners in preparing the student for college.
Mentoring
Every student at R-MA is assigned to a faculty or staff mentor, who provides the student with guidance and support throughout the school year.
The mentor functions as the contact person for the family with any questions or concerns that arise while the student is at the Academy. The mentor also serves as the advocate for students on campus and will work to coordinate action-plans with each student for their academic and social achievement.
Mentors meet with their students each week for a weekly lunch and a forty-five minute mentoring session. Additionally, mentors may take students to off-campus lunches or dinners at least once a semester. Beyond the scheduled times, mentors work with their students to determine their class schedules for the next year and are instrumental in college advising and discussion on the character issues and time-management issues that may arise for the student.
