RPS Mission

The mission of the Resiliency Preparatory School is to provide a non-traditional approach to education that encourages academic and personal growth to students who have not found success in traditional academic pathways. We provide an academically challenging curriculum with the necessary support systems to foster the development of an individual's character, self-respect, and ability to succeed in a challenging world. Our goal is for all of our students to earn a high school diploma while preparing them for post secondary or real world success.

 

School Overview

Resiliency Preparatory School (RPS) is proud to offer Fall River students a flexible group of course offerings that are held between the hours of 7:45 AM and 6:00 PM daily. The school recognizes that the lives of today’s high school students are remarkably different than those of students even five years ago. We understand that many factors affect what kind and how much academic work a student can accomplish in a given period of time. High school students today need options that will accommodate their complex lives and customized support to ensure their success. 

We believe that surrounding non-traditional students with excellent teaching, wraparound services, and a flexible course schedule will allow them to earn the credits they need to graduate and experience future success in the 21st century. RPS Academy courses are available to Fall River students with varied academic needs. RPS course options are strategically designed to accommodate students’ needs at different points of their high school career.
