Introducing RMU in the High School

Now more than ever, students face unprecedented challenges in preparing for the competitive workforce. Traditional education models struggle to keep up with evolving industry demands, leaving students feeling unprepared and overwhelmed as they enter higher education or their careers. College in high school programs bridge the gap between secondary education and the professional world by providing early access to higher-level courses, hands-on-experiences, and practical skills development. This integration accelerates learning and empowers students to successfully navigate the complexities of decision making regarding career paths and to prepare for the professional world with confidence and agility.

RMU in the High School is a highly customized program that seamlessly integrates with your curriculum thanks to our faculty’s hands-on approach in developing and customizing all aspects of the program to meet your school’s needs. By partnering with RMU, you’ll provide students with immersive college experiences, diverse courses, and a professional focus that prepares them for future careers. Our tailored programs will not only strengthen your school’s reputation but also offer a personalized approach that ensures student success.

At RMU, we see things in our students before they even see it in themselves, and we take them and their futures seriously. RMU in the High School provides students access to the college experience sooner than ever before. Our program goes far beyond typical college in high school offerings by not only offering the access to higher-level courses, hands-on experience, and practical skills development one would expect; it also provides students with career exploration opportunities via immersive experiences provided by RMU faculty and staff. These experiences are typically hosted on the beautiful RMU campus but can be tailored to take place in your school as well. Choose RMU as your preferred partner to unlock unparalleled educational opportunities, effortless implementation, and to prepare your students for an ever changing world.
