RPA OPEN HOUSE EXTRAVAGANZA
The Redmond Proficiency Academy will host an Open House Extravaganza on Tuesday, March 3. The Extravaganza is open to the public and will feature activities on both the RPA Downtown Campus at 657 SW Glacier Avenue in Redmond and the RPA West Campus at 2105 West Antler Avenue in Redmond from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
“The Open House Extravaganza provides an opportunity for our current students and staff to share many of the great things happening at RPA with future students, former students, parents, and community members,” said RPA Executive Director Jon Bullock. “The Redmond Proficiency Academy knows your child has plenty of untapped potential, and RPA can help unlock it with a unique approach to learning that allows students to own their education. At RPA, students create a unique personalized learning plan, excel at their own pace, and are recognized by ability rather than grade.”
The West Campus will feature our award-winning robot, performances by our dance team and band, a yoga presentation, middle school electives, and students climbing the rock wall. The Downtown Campus will feature lessons in Ignite Science, heart dissections, digital filmmaking, an introduction to our college prep program, and performances by our high school choir, as well as a student and parent panel for a question and answer session. Our weekly podcast will be live during the evening. Parents, prospective students, and community members will be able to interact with current students, parents and staff.
“This event is designed to give a glimpse into life at RPA,” Bullock said. “The Open House Extravaganza is open to everyone and is an opportunity to learn more about how our school works.”
RPA is a public charter school-serving students in grades six through 12. The school focuses on providing students a proficiency-based education in a personalized learning environment. At RPA, students will move at their own pace and are grouped by ability level rather than grade level. Students can also create a personalized learning plan and pursue their own areas of interest.
RPA encourages students to participate in real world learning experiences and to earn credit by demonstrating their knowledge and skills. RPA prides itself on creating an inclusive school culture where teachers know their students and where students cultivate friendships in an atmosphere of academic success.
