Choosing the right high school matters.
Not just for academics, but for who you become.
"One thing I have fallen in love with is how much the students and staff here embrace uniqueness down to its core."

🎭✨ What a week for our theatre students! Our 6th and 7th graders put on a wonderful student-directed production of Alice in Wonderland, with help from 8th graders and even some high schoolers to build a really cool set and amazing wall art. 🐇🎩
Then came our Middle School One Acts and Choir Show at McClay on Wednesday night! Our Advanced Theater students put in a long day of steady work and delivered a very successful performance — their motivation and leadership were truly inspiring. Our Choir took the stage too. 🎶 We also celebrated 14 new Junior Thespians inducted into the Thespian society this week!
Huge thanks to instructor Karly Wade and everyone who supported our students this week — we couldn't have done it without you!
these kids rock. 🖤
and they’re students at a tuition-free public charter school in the heart of downtown Redmond.
here’s what we’ve learned at RPA: kids thrive when they get to chase something they’re passionate about. give a student a stage, an instrument, and teachers who are genuine experts in their craft, and watch what happens. they can pick up that instrument in middle school and be owning the stage by senior year.
that’s the whole idea — education as unique as you are.
🎸 come do music at RPA and learn from the experts.

🏙️ Wednesdays at the Middle School just got real! Our sixth graders took over JA BizTown, running an entire city as CEOs, Wi-Fi installers, UPS delivery drivers, iHeartRadio DJs, and civic leaders. They showed incredible professionalism, teamwork, and confidence every step of the way. What an amazing hands-on learning experience! 🚀 Learn more at jaorswwa.org/ja-biztown
