Middle School at RSSAA

We provide students with the tools, experiences, and context to confidently walk forward in an ever-changing world.  We believe in helping uncover, nurture, and share the unique talents and potential of each student.

Be Who You Are

At RSSAA, middle school is a place to explore, create, and grow. In close-knit classes with caring teachers, students follow their curiosities, discover their talents, and challenge themselves through clubs, sports, and artistic adventures.

We don’t just learn formulas and equations. We figure out why they do what they do and how reactions occur. We look at things from a different perspective.

Unplug, Experience, Connect 

At RSSAA, students learn through hands-on science, music, and place-based projects—without phones or screens—cultivating deep engagement, real-world learning, and genuine human connection.

Give It What You’ve Got

Curious, social, and eager to explore, our students thrive in a program designed to inspire them to reach their full potential. Through experiential research and wilderness adventures, they leave middle school confident, capable, and ready for the next step into high school.
