"We all think that our education was very well-rounded because Ramalynn gave us many opportunities to excel in academics, athletics, and the arts. We were taught to be kind to all living beings and volunteer to help others. These are all values that we continue to pursue as adults."
Coed Athletic Program
Our extra-curricular sports program encourages students of all ages, genders, athletic abilities, and skill levels to participate in a wide variety of sports. Every student, regardless of prior experience, is given playing time, coaching attention, and respect from their peers.
Summer Program
Ramalynn Academy offers a full summer program through the summer months of June, July, and August. It is open to students in Preschool through 8th Grade, and includes art, academic, and athletic enrichment camps, such as pottery, golf, and astronomy.
Whole Child Learning
At Ramalynn, we emphasize Whole Child Learning. Through teaching the whole child, we focus not only on academic achievements, but on the personal and developmental needs of our students.
"What is the whole-child approach? The whole-child approach to teaching supports and nurtures all areas of children's development and learning, from social-emotional and cognitive skills to literacy, math, and science understanding. It is a powerful strategy as preschool children transition to kindergarten."
-Teaching Strategies, Whole Child
What makes someone a good person? What gives them the life skills they need to be a leader? Whole child development “empowers children as creative and engaged citizens who can strengthen the wellbeing of a whole society.”
