Educational Philosophy

The Power of Rise.

Rise is not just an action at Randolph-Macon Academy. Rather, it is a mindset, an attitude we embody every day. It is hard, but worthy, work--the type of struggle that does not always end in success but always results in a rewarding sense of accomplishment.

Randolph-Macon Academy produces graduates who thrive in college and in life, through a program that emphasizes intellect, leadership, high character, self-discipline and accountability.
