Traditional School Elements

Sports

A Message from the Athletic Director:

Over the years the Athletics program at the Academy has continued to evolve.  Currently, we offer three different sports during the course of the year; Soccer in the fall, Basketball in the winter and a sport in the spring which has fluctuated from Ultimate Frisbee to Kickball to, most recently, Beach Volleyball.  Each of our sports teams are coed and have schedules which include games with other small, private schools.

The belief is that athletics provide students with numerous, invaluable experiences and learning opportunities.  Participating in athletics has been proven to have a positive impact on students in many different areas.  Athletics help to promote societal and moral ideals such as teamwork, fair play, and sportsmanship, while also helping to foster self esteem, self worth and determination.  In addition, sports place students into social settings which help them to cultivate new relationships with other students both from the Academy, as well as, from other schools.

If you have any questions about our sports programs, feel free to email me at wwerner@rsec.org

ACORA:  Students from the RSEC Academy in Amherst are taking a stand on being “green”. Julia Daniel, Tim Hatchett and Zach Lillis initiated a community recycling team called ACORA, the Academy Committee Of Recycling Awareness.  The students state that the mission of ACORA is to promote earth friendly behaviors in our school by recycling, reusing and conserving resources and by educating our community on the importance of being green!  

ACORA is  funded by Donations from students, families and local businesses.

Movie Night: Currently some students have decided that they want to get together and watch movies on Friday afternoons.  They found a faculty advisor and have set up a schedule of movies, inviting all students who wish to come.
