Personalized Pathways for Every Student
The curriculum at R-MA is designed to accommodate and celebrate the passions of each student. At both the Middle and Upper School level, students learn from a broad core curriculum that covers the humanities, math, and science. The result is an environment that fosters academic curiosity through innovation, technology, and the arts.
At the Upper School level, students are introduced to the Air Force Junior ROTC program, where they study the fundamentals of the aerospace environment and flight and navigation techniques. The Pre-Professional Pathways provide further opportunities for Upper School students to explore their passions and career interests. These Pathways are specially designed curriculum tracks and include Global Entrepreneurship, Aviation, and Software and Engineering.
For those students who want to take advantage of seminar-style learning to develop career and life skills, our January Term is a chance to engage in academic interests outside of the regular classroom experience. The 3-week term between the fall and spring semester offers courses like persuasive speech and writing, photography, and hydroponics.
A Student-Centered Learning Environment
Teaching at R-MA is about equipping students to think critically, work collaboratively, and innovate creatively. Students are given the freedom to discover their own passions and are encouraged to overcome any challenges in their pursuit of those passions. The teaching environment is designed to support both independent thinking and collaborative learning. Students excel in small class sizes under the guidance of our experienced teaching staff.
In our Tutorial and Learning Lab, students have the chance to meet with their teachers to receive any additional support they may need. Many students find this to be a valuable resource to clarify the classroom material, dive deeper into a topic, or prepare for their assignments. Those who support R-MA can help to build a learning environment that supports the academic potential of every student.
Guiding the Future of Our Graduates When You Support R-MA
Education at R-MA is about securing success for our students, both now and later. We aim to equip young people with the skills, knowledge, and character to overcome challenges in their academic and professional futures. This starts with a college preparatory curriculum that has led to a 100% university acceptance rate among our graduates. As the college landscape continues to change each year, our staff members are committed to upholding the ambitions of each and every student. The College Counseling Program at R-MA offers individual guidance with the diversity of students and families in mind. Academic counselors meet with students to discuss their college aspirations, the appropriate curriculum for their desired pathway, and the actions they need to take. With an investment in the future of our graduates, R-MA works to translate academic experiences into successful outcomes.
