With a dedicated community committed to supporting them, Randolph-Macon Academy students are able to grow educationally and socially as they gain independence and learn alongside their peers.
With the generosity of our donors, we are able to provide caring and responsible staff that help supervise the boarding environment and give each student the individualized support they need. Read on to learn more about how your support helps to improve the boarding experience for R-MA students.
Students Experience a Supportive Dorm Life at R-MA
Dorm life at R-MA gives students the opportunity to thrive in their commitment to their academics, while also learning how to balance added responsibilities, to prepare them for college life and beyond.
At R-MA, dorm living offers a unique Residential Life Program, designed to serve students as an extension of the academic environment. Additional academic support, including daily supervised study-hour sessions in a small group setting, allows students to receive the assistance they need. This program also offers additional leadership opportunities, giving students the chance to step up their confidence and leadership skills. These include a Big Brother, Big Sister, and Cadre Leadership programs, and allow students to step into important roles as they become responsible members of the R-MA community.
Giving Back to R-MA Fosters a Tight-Knit Community of Support
R-MA alumni go on to excel in their personal and professional lives due to the student life found at our school designed to instill values of accountability, teamwork, character, structure, and grit. With such a tight-knit community found at R-MA, every student is looked after and encouraged to be the best version of themselves.
Giving back to R-MA fosters the maintenance and growth of our family-like community, allowing new students to continuously feel supported at every stage of their journey while attending our academy. We are able to keep alumni connected and informed through the organization of our annual events, regular updates in publications, and our online channels. Through these alumni connections, students continue to see just how wide the breadth of support they receive is when they choose R-MA.
Exciting Excursions Available for Boarding Students
Exciting weekend excursions are scheduled weekly for students, allowing them to grow their bonds with their peers while gaining new experiences. Stepping out of their comfort zones helps them discover new strengths about themselves, and continues to foster their overall well-rounded nature.
Activities available to students take place either on our 135-acre campus, filled with obstacle courses, games, and social events, or off-campus to arcades, bowling alleys, and impactful field trips. Whether it’s a water slide on campus or a trip to Washington D.C., students are presented with activities that promote ample social interaction and deliver an overall exciting student life. The generosity of our donors allows us to uphold all of our academic, social, and professional offerings for our students and creates an unmatched community here at R-MA.
