The Academy seeks to extend its reach beyond its student body by having an impact upon students everywhere. RCA is a demonstration school – a place where visiting educators engage in a vibrant professional development experience by observing best practices in action before participating in hands-on workshops. In the past 13 years, more than 80,000 superintendents, district level administrators, and teachers have participated in the RCA Experience to learn better ways to engage students, promote academic excellence, build relationships, and create a positive climate and culture.
