As a leading private school with a long history of developing leaders, R-MA is dedicated to providing students with the opportunities and resources they need to succeed. Throughout the years, we have tirelessly worked to inspire our students and foster their ambitions, creating a culture of excellence and achievement. As a result, we rank among the Top 10 Best Private High Schools as well as the Top 5 Best Boarding High Schools in Virginia.
In each graduating class, students have gone on to accomplish their goals and reach their potential, rising up to challenges and inspiring each other to persevere and achieve. Our alumni serve as strong role models for our new students, embodying the attributes that define our graduates: inquiry-driven, self-disciplined, technically astute and globally aware, to name a few.
Read on to discover how our hardworking alumni inspire our students and contribute to advancing our mission and values.
Providing Unique Opportunities for Growth and Success
Supporting our students and paving the way to their success is a commitment that R-MA continues to uphold, providing current students with the same resources and opportunities that have guided our graduates towards their success. As technology advances and expectations evolve, our facilities, programs, and curriculum adapt to our students’ needs, creating an up-to-date learning experience that prepares them for success in the present and future.
With access to these opportunities and resources, our students are able to explore their capabilities and discover their full potential. Through the example of successful R-MA graduates, students can become better aware of exciting possibilities and more driven to reach their personal goals.
Promoting a Culture of Ambition and Excellence with Each Graduating Class
Each of our graduating classes has accomplished great feats, inspiring future generations of R-MA students to rise and achieve. In addition to maintaining a 100% university acceptance rate, our graduating classes bring in an average over $12 million in college scholarships per year.
In fact, in 2022 alone, 59 students received over $16.6 million in scholarships (including our Falcon Scholars who all earned appointments to the United States Air Force Academy and received over $4.1 million in scholarships). Generally, every graduating class received a minimum of 15 Service Academy Appointments, but in 2022, this number has gone up to 20. In the past few years, many of our students have even gone on to study at world renowned universities, such as Cornell University, Johns Hopkins, Northwestern, and many others.
These achievements contribute to creating a culture of ambition and excellence that sets our graduates apart. By giving back to R-MA, you can play a meaningful role in supporting this culture, and in turn, the successes of our future graduates.
Supporting R-MA to Strengthen Our Community and Our Mission
The structured environment at R-MA ensures that students are well-prepared for the next chapter of their life, ready to face what comes ahead with the right mindset and attitude. With the support of our strong and caring community, students can develop the skills and outlook to do so, becoming adaptive leaders of character who are ready to pursue a life of meaning and success. In this way, we are able to fulfill our mission to Inspire the RISE Within.
With your help, we can continue to build a tight-knit community that inspires and guides our ambitious students, helping them discover the path towards their success and how they can use their talents to better the world.
