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 cadet at R-MA is assigned to a faculty or staff mentor, who provides the cadet 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 cadet is at the Academy. The mentor also serves as an advocate for cadets on campus and will work to coordinate with cadets, families, and teachers to support their mentee’s academic and social achievement.
Mentors meet with their mentees twice a week for 20-minute mentoring sessions. Additionally, mentors may take Cadets off campus for lunch or dinner once or twice a year. Beyond the scheduled times for check-in, mentors work with the Cadets to help them choose classes for the upcoming year, support them in their college application process, and guide and support them in their journey as a cadet at R-MA.
