Learn to S.O.A.R!

S.O.A.R. with Riverside Military Academy this summer!  Riverside’s five-week Summer Opportunity and Academic Review – nicknamed SOAR – is designed especially to help boys in grades 7 through 11 prepare for the upcoming school year and strengthen their academic skills. S.O.A.R. is open to students who attend Riverside during the regular school year as well as students from other schools.

Studies, first …

We provide the opportunity for each student to reach his maximum potential in all academic areas by creating a positive learning atmosphere. Young men who are eager to learn will gain valuable skills necessary to excel in college or to improve on a specific subject. Students may choose from challenging elective courses or repeat courses as needed for credit. Class sizes are small for more individualized teacher attention and allow more active involvement in the learning process.

As a summer student, you will be encouraged to expand your learning to reach your full potential. A supervised evening study hall - with access to your teachers - provides a structured study environment.  Students must attend the full five-week session to earn academic credit.

   ...and then the fun!

Because Riverside believes that there is a strong connection between physical and mental development, extra-curricular activities, field trips and activities play an important role in SOAR program. Our summer recreational program takes full advantage of our campus athletic facilities and our proximity to Lake Lanier.   Summer cadets have the opportunity to learn basic marksmanship and rappelling and to experience rock climbing, swimming, canoeing, and more.
