Program Highlights
  • Partnership with Future Design School: Working with Future Design School, our teachers integrate important skills such as Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Social Awareness, and Stewardship into the curriculum across subjects. Check out our Portrait of a Graduate here!
  • Leadership Opportunities: All Middle School students have the opportunity to join a committee and get involved in running initiatives such as community activities, donation drives, and school spirit weeks. As the eldest at RDS, our Middle School students serve as role models and have the chance to volunteer with the younger grades or become school ambassadors for visitors.
  • Diverse Curriculum Offerings: Our students enjoy a wide range of programming such as a dedicated learning strategies class, experiential and outdoor education opportunities, a robust arts program, and physical education in world-class facilities.
  • High School Transition Support: Our staff are dedicated to helping families find the right fit for high school. Teachers work closely with students to equip them with application and interview skills, as well as the confidence and tools to overcome any challenges on their new learning journey.
