Eagles Youth Summer Camps
We educate students not just for college acceptances, but for a meaningful life of learning and serving their Savior in whatever journey God has planned for them. From personal growth in faith huddles to the academic rigor of science courses, from developing skills in athletics to learning to serve each other despite our differences; we understand the challenges high school students face, and we value mentoring students throughout these sometimes rocky years.
Do you have extracurricular programs and activities?
Yes, we offer a variety of programs including Athletics and Arts as well as extracurricular activities such as National Honors Society, Speech and Debate, Drama, Eagle Choir, and Student Government. Students can also participate in their local public school sports teams through a program enabled by CHSAA. Contact us to find out more.
Do you have classes 5 days a week? What are your school hours?
Yes, our classes meet in person Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 3:00pm. Doors open at 7:30am and after school sports and activities typically run from 3:15pm until 5:00pm, with after school supervision until finished.
Does our family need to attend a certain church in order to go to school at RML?
No, students come from a variety of backgrounds -- over the years we've had students from many different churches, denominations, and religious backgrounds.
Do you provide transportation?
With students from over 17 communities in the Denver Metro area, we understand the importance of transportation, and the need to find a solution that works for your family. To find out more about van transportation or carpool options, please contact transportation@rmlhs.net.
