Open Quote An alternative setting that empowers students to raise the bar on their own learning and go beyond their potential. Caring staff and knowledge teachers who believe in students and are willing to put forth daily endeavors into maintaining a positive relationship, promotes excellence for every responsible student. The non-traditional school settings combines rigorous and quality online learning with face-to-face instruction of highly qualified teachers. The blending setting creates value for every student who is willing and able to put forth his or her individualized best. Students who graduate from RRCA and go on to college or/and a career have shared that they found worth in the time-management and organizational skills they obtained as students at RRCA which propelled them to new heights and provided an advantage over their peers. The holistic student is the focal point of RRCA where it is the goal of the school to maximize continuous improvement for every student. Students who fit into the school are those who want to be engaged and empowered by their own learning, fearless in the face of hard work, and willing to complete coursework at home and at school to capitalize upon the alternative school setting. The inputs of quality education and connecting student relationship with the teacher, the school and the home produces positive outcomes of continuous success. Close Quote
