Why R-MA Is an Excellent Option for Summer Classes
From June 24 to July 23, and with students’ safety as our foremost priority, summer classes will be in-person and on-campus at our facilities in Front Royal. Our academy offers unique benefits to both Middle and Upper School students during the summer months. Middle School students (grades 6 to 8) have opportunities to learn about creative writing, music, robotics, and flight and drones. The Study Skills course also helps them better understand and practice proper study habits. Meanwhile, those in the Upper School (grades 9 to 12) receive transferable high school credits upon completing their courses, and are also able to take part in our Aviation Explorers program while using two R-MA-owned Cessna aircrafts.
