My wife and I have had our children at RMA for over 4 years. My oldest just graduated this Spring, and we could not have had a better high school experience, nor could our two children. Not only is the curriculum very challenging, but with the low the student to teacher ratio each child is personally challenged while being nurtured. Not only do the students get a great book education, but the faculty and staff help to build confidence in each child to make them a well rounded adult. I am very pleased to see how the student body as a whole is confident and capable to converse with adults and parents, on a much higher level than I have experienced with children being educated in other places. Each class is unified, and I don't feel that any child is left out or left behind. Sports at RMA are very competitive, as are academics. The faculty is well qualified to instruct, and very concerned and invested in each child's education. They make the extra effort to ensure each child is taught the material while also challenging each student to achieve more than they thought possible. In building the students confidence, I have witnessed great strides in personal growth of my children and their friends. I was not a supporter of private education until we gave RMA a chance...and it was hands down the best decision we made for our kids and their education as well as our family as a whole. You don't "pay for the grades". You are paying for a quality school, unmatched facility and the complete education and formation of a college prepared student all in a tight knit safe and positive learning environment.
