Why I Chose R-MA:

“I chose Randolph-Macon Academy because it provided a supportive yet competitive environment where I could develop discipline, character, and leadership. I enjoy the daily challenges that push me to grow, whether it’s waking up early for High Flight workouts or improving my leadership as Company Commander. I’m inspired by the ambition of my peers and motivated to make meaningful contributions to my community.”
