An inclusive, independent boarding high school
When I first got to Rock Point School I was struggling a lot with going to school, getting up, and managing my anxiety. Rock Point gave me the environment I needed to figure out how I could be my best self. My relationship with my teachers has helped me the most. If I'm having a tough day or struggling with something, I know I can talk to my teachers, or they will check in with me when they notice that I'm off. It's also helped that many of my peers have gone through some of the same things I've dealt with, so I know I have people I can talk to about my struggles.
As I move on to college next year, I'll use so much of what I've learned here to help me in the future. I've learned how to be more organized, independent, and self-sufficient. I feel like I can be myself—the self that I want to be."
"I've learned so much here. I've become a better friend and learned how to work through conflicts with people.
I've also become a better learner because of my amazing teachers. It's been so important to me that I can get help when I need it and my teachers are able to be flexible. I know I can ask for clarification on any assignments. My relationships with teachers and my advisor have really made my time at Rock Point transformational."
“What has been most memorable for me at Rock Point is making friends. I now have a second family and they will always be there for me. I now have another home.
I have learned new levels of patience and I have learned to be more empathetic. I wouldn’t have gotten that anywhere else.
I now have picked up my life and put it together and I am going to a college that will give me the best degree for my dream job.”
“I had to learn how to be by myself instead of trying to fit in. I really got to be myself here. Sometimes we get annoyed with each other, but we learn how to be together.
Being here will be the best four years of your life. The school has so much love and support for students. You never feel alone.
I love knowing that when I leave here, I have become my best self.”
“Being around people here everyday has made me more comfortable out in the real world. Now I am going to college. I don’t think I would have even been able to deal with the thought of college when I first got to Rock Point.
I learned to not give up. Rock Point has encouraged me to keep trying. Rock Point has given me a purpose and it has shown me that I should keep trying every single day!
Getting to know people has been the best thing that could ever happen to me.”
