You’re not like everyone else—and that’s a good thing.
Maybe your current school doesn’t feel right. Maybe your strengths aren’t showing up on report cards. Maybe you're tired of pretending everything’s fine when it really isn’t.
At Rock Point School, we understand that school isn’t just about academics. It’s about discovering who you are, figuring out where you’re going, and having adults in your corner who actually see you. If you’re creative, curious, or simply need something different—this might be the right place for you.
At Rock Point School, your classes are small and your teachers really know you. You’ll get the support you need to build skills, confidence, and independence—without pressure to be someone you’re not.
This is a place where individuality is celebrated. Whether you’re quiet or outspoken, artistic or analytical, funny or thoughtful—you belong here. No need to pretend or blend in.
You’ll do more than take notes and study for tests. At Rock Point, your days might include outdoor adventures, cooking, creative projects, or helping out in the local community. These real-world experiences are a core part of how we learn and grow.
Feeling anxious? Trying to figure out friendships, future plans, or just how to manage stress? You don’t have to do it alone. Our staff are here to support you—without judgment.
Rock Point School might be a good fit if you:
Feel like your current school isn’t working for you
Want to be part of a small, welcoming community
Are open to change, even if it’s a little uncomfortable
Are ready for a fresh start in a place that sees your potential
You don’t have to be perfect or have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to show up, ask questions, and take the next step.
If this sounds like it could be your kind of school, here’s what you can do:

It has been so special to come to a place where I have been accepted for who I am. I've always been me, that's not changing, but for the first time in my life, it's been celebrated.
