Students at RAMA are engaged in 4 eight (8) week sessions of intense hands on instruction in reading and math. This program is in addition to the regular core classes. Direct Intervention was developed to help both the struggling and advance learner to reach their greatest potential in these two subjects.
Students at Renaissance Academy participate in both informal and formal assessments throughout the school year. Our students are given informal teacher-created assessments, quarterly benchmarks, and STAR Literacy and STAR Math assessments continuously throughout the year. RAMA students also participate in state testing. This year, our students will be taking the American Institutes for Research (AIR) Assessment in the spring.
Reading is fundamental! Here at Renaissance Academy, we make sure that our students have extended time for reading and language arts skills each day. RAMA students learn reading skills by engaging in rich, rigorous, and engaging texts. Reading class feels more like “book club” and our students learn to LOVE good books!
Mathematics is a part of everyday life. We teach math using a common-core aligned curriculum that pushes our students to think critically about math in everyday life. Whether it’s baking cookies, telling time, and counting toys in elementary school or calculating square footage of rooms, figuring out the price of fabric per square foot, or filing taxes as an adult, math is a crucial part of every day. Our students experience math by practicing facts and learning the HOW and WHY behind why math works to find practical solutions to day-to-day problems.

“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you can help them to become what they are capable of being.” ~ Goethe
Mrs. Martin strives to put this quote into action on a daily basis, especially when it comes to the students and families that she comes in contact with on a daily basis. She also believes that all people have value that has to be nurtured to allow their fullest potential to emerge.
