Summer break doesn’t have to mean a break from progress. At R-MA private school, we believe summer is the perfect time to sharpen academic skills, explore new interests, and take meaningful steps toward college readiness. That’s why our college prep summer programs are designed with a clear purpose: to give students the opportunity to grow, catch up, or get ahead while staying engaged in a supportive, structured environment.
Whether students are looking to earn academic credit, strengthen foundational knowledge, or explore career-relevant subjects like aviation or computer science, R-MA’s summer programs in Virginia offer a variety of enriching options, all while enjoying the fun and connection that summer learning should include.
A Personalized Path to Academic Growth
At our private school, we understand that no two learners are the same. That’s why we offer both credit-bearing remedial courses and non-credit preparatory courses. So each student can focus on what they need most.
Credit-bearing remedial courses help students meet graduation requirements or recover from academic setbacks. With small class sizes and dedicated support, students gain the chance to master material at their own pace and build confidence ahead of the next school year.
Prep courses, on the other hand, offer a head start. These non-credit classes focus on strengthening academic skills in subjects like English, math, world history, and computer science. It’s ideal for students who want to transition smoothly into more advanced coursework or simply build stronger study habits.
A selection of our summer courses is offered both on campus and online in live synchronous formats, allowing students to participate from wherever they are, without sacrificing the value of teacher interaction and real-time feedback.
Real-World Relevance Through Specialized Programs
In addition to traditional academic subjects, our private school also offers specialty summer programming that reflects our broader college readiness mission.
One of the most exciting options is our Aviation Summer Camp, open to rising 9th–12th graders. Students explore flight training in R-MA aircraft and simulators, learn drone operations for aerial photography and data collection, and even have the opportunity to pursue FAA remote pilot certification. With a cap of 12 students per session, this immersive experience gives participants a focused, hands-on path toward careers in aviation, engineering, and STEM fields.
Our summer offerings also include English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), biology, and prep-level computer science with an AI focus, all part of our mission to prepare students for success in a global, competitive academic landscape.
More Than Academics: A Complete Summer Experience
Of course, summer should also be fun, and at R-MA, it is. All of our summer programs in Virginia include carefully planned activities that make the experience as socially rewarding as it is academically enriching.
From outdoor movie nights, scavenger hunts, and paintball to ziplining, waterparks, amusement parks, and trips to Washington, D.C., students enjoy the full camp experience while building friendships and developing independence.
On-campus students benefit from dormitory living, dining services, and the use of our beautiful 135-acre campus, which adds an extra layer of adventure and community spirit to the academic offerings.
