LEARNING EXTENDS BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
A good education encourages a young person to look inside himself or herself to discover the strengths and values that guide individual performance and relationships with others. During their years at RMA, our students acquire knowledge and gain experience that combine to shape their concepts about life, work, service and world citizenship.
Involvement in the Community
One of the many ways the Academy combines its well-known qualities of academic excellence with an emphasis on education for character and citizenship is through community service. Recognition of a responsibility to community begins in our lower school with class projects to aid charities, social service agencies and the environment. Middle and Upper school students participate in a variety of community efforts through participation in clubs and service groups, and in grades 10-12, by completing required service hours. Visiting the elderly, working with the handicapped, supporting recycling projects and responding to a host of human service needs in our community are just a few of the ways that Academy students learn they can and do make a difference in the world.

Independent Study Teaches Valuable Skills The transition from high school to college is more than simply learning where your classrooms are. How to manage your time, where to go for help, how to organize your studies and how to conduct effective research are just some of the questions college freshmen face. Our unique Independent Study program for high school students enables them to acquire the techniques to work independently outside of the classroom setting. Students can choose from a variety of options: conduct research, complete class assignments or receive extra help from a teacher. | |
