Mission & Philosophy
About Us
The RPA learning community supports a student-centered classroom and multiple educational options, which provide the support that each individual student needs, thus reducing the dropout rate and leading more students toward graduation. As educators, we will collaborate to search for various avenues to better serve our population through rigorous instruction, engaging content and curriculum, and holding students to high expectations that will lead them to find success. We will continue to create pathways for learning that meet our students where they are when they come to us and where they want to go in the immediate future.
In addition, we will prepare young people for the real world through the use of multiple intervention strategies and programs that will lead students towards success both inside and outside of the classroom. We will foster a school environment where we promote family and community engagement. We will do everything we can to connect with students’ families and community partners to support us with our vision that ALL students can be successful through multiple alternative pathways.
