Program Changes At
Rocky Mountain Academy
Rocky Mountain Academy has made two important changes in their
program. Students have stopped meeting in the family structure,
in which students progressed from one family to another during
their stay at RMA, and are now divided into eight teams. What
used to be referred to as families are now called phases.
The student will stay in that team until they graduate. One
objective is to assist the student in building stronger relationships.
The other change was to drop the traditional schedule of a
new class each hour, to a block curriculum which lasts all
morning. The block system uses one period which lasts the
entire morning which facilitates integrating subjects, and
allows students to delve deeper into a subject area. It also
makes field trips easier because there is no problem of coordinating
with other classes the student is in.
