Senior: Don Bosco has been the school that really brought me into reality. I started my first day as a freshman not knowing anything but going in with confidence. When I met the faculty I told them exactly that they would know my name by heart because I was going to make an impact. Don Bosco had brought the leadership characteristics out of me whether it be academically or through extra-curricular. With rigorous courses and highly developed and trained faculty and staff, they provided courses for me that allowed me to learn and apply it to my life. They ensure their students are also prepared for the real world, having an amazing corporate work study program within the curriculum. This gives an advantage to us students because we are able to build a network beyond just their high school career. The school provides nothing but guaranteed advantage upon future life endeavors....

Parent: I “STRUCK GOLD” WITH THIS SCHOOL! I'll tell you why: 1. Trinity has high academic AND holistic standards that are achieved through top-of-the-line programs combined with in-depth lessons of the Fruits of the Spirit! 2. The school is very responsive to parent questions/suggestions/concerns. When an issue arises, action is taken without delay and solutions are quickly and respectfully implemented. 3. The school is grounded in honesty and transparency, which is evident in ALL communication. 4. The head of school is PRESENT, ACCESSIBLE & DOWN-TO-EARTH. He is purposely visible each morning and afternoon carline and regularly sends out clear, concise communication. . It’s fitting that Trinity’s school colors are green and gold. To me, the gold stands for the unwavering quality and the green for the positive growth in so many directions that all the teachers, faculty and staff so lovingly nurture in each individual child. Trinity education is TRULY a Preparation for LIFE.... Read 18 reviews

Parent: The Admissions department made the application process seamless. They were easy to reach; gladly returned phone calls and inquiries; and, assisted with the application process during each step. Compared to other independent college prep institutions, RMA is a small school. However, we were thoroughly impressed with the diversity that we saw during the summer camp program; We were pleased to see that it carried over to the academic year. The curriculum is rigorous. The staff is caring. There are a variety of extracurricular activities that are day and boarding inclusive. Any family "on the fence" about RMA should definitely consider a second look, or reach out to staff. You'll be glad you did!... Read 173 reviews
