learners, and supports the ongoing development of sturdy human beings through a delicate balance of rigorous content and a purposeful focus on habits of scholarship and mind. Our students are critical thinkers. They tackle modern, real-world problems, through core academics and diverse elective course offerings during the day, and they engage in extracurricular opportunities in the afternoons. Approximately 80% of our students immerse themselves in a culture of involvement at Rocky Heights and take part in one of our many student-initiated clubs, activities, or athletic opportunities. Our one-to-one technology program provides ongoing access for students to personalize their classrooms and empowers them to connect with complex learning opportunities. We firmly believe in a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) that helps us identify and assist students on an individual basis related to academic, social, and emotional needs.
