RMA’s philosophy is to engage all students needing non traditional learning in an education experience to improve academic performance that will enhance their lives as they transition into post secondary education and/or the workforce.
The students RMA serves frequently must deal with life issues that complicate regular school attendance and academic success. Our program provides a small, safe learning environment where all stakeholders know and respect one another, appreciate individuality and share the goal to help students achieve, complete high school prepared to enter the world of work, or to pursue post secondary education or training. RMA promotes academic success by ensuring students receive the skill building in reading, math and/or writing they need to succeed in their coursework. We offer options including courses in academic core curriculum, electives and career/life skills. Creative solutions are offered for improving student achievement over their child’s previously non successful school environments. Flexible scheduling allows our students to maximize opportunities to work and earn high school credits through our work study program. RMA accommodates working students and students with family commitments that complicate their academic success on a traditional schedule by repeating courses during morning, afternoon, or evening sessions as necessary, depending on student needs. Some of the RMA schools offer a Parent Infant Toddler Program for their teen parents. Additionally, students have access to virtual courses through Milburn High School Online. RMA has proven to be successful in providing the environment and program to help at risk students stay on track for high school graduation.
