J-TERM INTERNSHIPS

Every January, R-MA students and cadets have the opportunity to explore topics that fall outside the standard curriculum during J-Term, a special 3-week term following winter break. Classes offered during this time are designed to offer experiential, hands-on learning, encouraging creative thinking and giving students the chance to explore their passions and discover new ones.

In addition to the variety of classes offered this year, R-MA added a new option: internships! Participating students had the opportunity to explore a potential career field - whether they were based locally, across the country, or around the world. They also created capstone presentations to share what they learned with the community at the J-Term Symposium in Melton Gym.
