Is Rock Point School the Right Fit for Your Teen?

Choosing the right school is a deeply personal decision, especially when your teen’s needs aren’t being met in a traditional setting. At Rock Point School, we welcome bright, creative, and unique students who need a different approach to learning and personal growth. If your teen is struggling in their current environment—whether due to academic challenges, anxiety, social difficulties, or simply feeling like they don’t belong—we may be the right place for them to thrive.

Our Students

Teens at Rock Point School are as unique as their interests, but many share common experiences:

  • They are bright, capable, and full of potential but have struggled in conventional classrooms.
  • They may feel anxious, misunderstood, or uninspired in traditional academic settings.
  • They are creative thinkers who need an environment that values individuality.
  • They benefit from small class sizes, personalized support, and hands-on learning.
  • They are looking for a school community that is inclusive, accepting, and supportive.

What We Offer

Rock Point School is a small, all-gender boarding and day school that provides a structured yet flexible approach to education. We focus on:

  • Personalized Academics – Small classes, project-based learning, and personal attention help students engage and build confidence in their abilities.
  • Emotional and Social Growth – A supportive community where students learn resilience, self-advocacy, and how to navigate challenges with confidence.
  • Experiential Learning – Art, community service, the outdoors, and real-world experiences encourage curiosity and skill-building beyond the classroom.
  • A Safe, Nurturing Environment – A close-knit, welcoming community that values authenticity and belonging.

Questions to Consider

If you’re wondering whether Rock Point School is the right fit for your teen, here are a few questions to reflect on:

  • Does your teen need a smaller, more personalized learning environment?
  • Are they feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or unmotivated in their current school?
  • Would they benefit from a structured yet nurturing atmosphere that encourages independence and self-discovery?
  • Are you looking for a school that focuses on both academics and personal growth?

If you answered "yes" to many of these questions, Rock Point School may be a great place for your teen to find success.
