STEM
Students explore science, technology, engineering, and math in a nonacademic setting with goals of sparking creativity in problem-solving and opening students' eyes to the infinite possibilities within the science fields later in life.
LEGO Club
Activities for all ages focus on creative building, engineering solutions, and having fun. In some years, RASA students have competed in the Junior FIRST LEGO League (Jr.FLL).
Chess Club
Students meet weekly with a chess coach who teaches progressively advanced techniques and strategies. While novice students are learning the names and correct movements of the pieces on the chess board, the more experienced students compete against each other to “move up the ladder” for end-of-the-year awards. Students are tested several times each year to attain colored ribbons, which mark their level of achievement.
Theater Club
Student productions have included The Wizard of Oz, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and Peter Pan. The students build the set and props, and learn about blocking and character building.
Yoga Club
Yoga Club is designed to teach students patience and perseverance in a health/fitness-related setting. Students push their boundaries and learn that everyone starts somewhere, which applies not only in yoga, but in school as well. Yoga also promotes relaxation through breathing techniques and allows students to learn about themselves in a new way.
Sports Club
Students participate in a variety of activities both indoor and outdoor. They undergo a variety of physical tests to demonstrate endurance, agility, and strength. During each meeting, 30 minutes are spent on strength training and 30 minutes on a sport-related game.
