Randolph-Macon Academy’s summer programs are expanding this summer, incorporating opportunities for all students in grades six through twelve.
The Middle School Summer Enrichment Camp, featuring a "Space Exploration and Investigation" theme for rising sixth through eighth graders, has added a flight track and a robotics track. The camp will continue to include course options in science, math, language arts, history, and music. With both two-week and four-week options, the summer camp combines fun with just enough academics to keep students’ minds sharp over the long summer break.
The Flight Camp has been expanded this year. As in the past, participants in the flight camp will have the opportunity to fly in school-owned Cessna 172 aircraft, receive instruction from the school’s on-staff flight instructors, and participate in ground school. In addition, students will learn from industry professionals about various aviation careers, visit aviation museums and businesses, and fly unmanned/remote aircraft. Flight camp participants will also be able to experience the new flight simulator on campus, the Redbird TD.
Rising juniors and seniors will benefit from the College & Career Summer Seminar, a half-day, four-week program designed to help students discover their strengths, explore possible career interests, and begin preparing for the college application process.
On the Summer School side of the summer offerings, R-MA will continue to offer thirteen courses for a full high school credit for students who would like to get ahead or need to catch up on a credit. There are also nineteen courses available for repeat credit, for students who would like to improve their grades. New to the summer school program this year is Innovation 101, a half-day course that could complement a repeat class or the College & Career Summer Seminar.
All programs take place between June 30 and July 26, 2019. Applications for all R-MA summer programs are now being accepted. For more information on the summer programs, visit rma.edu/summer or call 540-636-5484.
