The Rocket School, has a hybrid curriculum blend designed to nurture students who can compete on an international scale. Our curriculum places a strong emphasis on the development of critical thinking skills. As a result, our students become proficient in the use of logical reasoning, deductive thinking, and problem-solving abilities. All our classes are designed to prepare students for college, and we have integrated financial education into every aspect of our academic program. Moreover, our unwavering commitment to offering exposure and various opportunities ensures that our students are fully prepared for the next stage of their education.
At the Rocket School, we follow a year-round schedule, in contrast to the conventional 8-10 week summer break. Instead, our students have a shorter four-week summer break accompanied by several week-long breaks throughout the school year. By adopting this schedule, our students benefit from enhanced continuity and more frequent learning opportunities. Extensive research has consistently shown that students enrolled in year-round programs tend to outperform their peers in traditionally scheduled programs.
The Rocket School is a privately-owned, educational institution that caters to students from elementary to high school. Our approach to education is distinct and can be attributed to our success, which revolves around the concept of "F.U.E.L."
FAITH
Within our school community, faith serves as a unifying force, providing a shared sense of purpose and connection. It extends beyond religious beliefs, embodying a collective trust in something greater. This shared faith fosters an environment of understanding, compassion, and resilience, becoming the foundation for a cohesive community that thrives on shared values and a sense of purpose.
UNIQUE ENVIROMENT
Regardless of your child's intelligence, their potential can be hindered by the environment they are in. The Rocket School prioritizes the well-being of its students by not accepting those with behavior problems or a history of infractions. This makes our school a secure and bully-free space. By enrolling your child at the Rocket School, you are providing them with the opportunity to be surrounded by motivated students who are eager to be here, exhibit good behavior, and have a genuine desire to learn.
EMPOWERMENT
Empowerment at Rocket School is the catalyst for individual and collective growth. It encourages each member to discover and leverage their unique strengths, fostering a resilient and confident community. This commitment to empowerment creates a dynamic environment where individuals not only realize their potential but contribute meaningfully to the collective strength of the community.
At our school, we prioritize small class sizes to ensure personalized attention for each student. Our classes have an average of 9 students, with a maximum limit of 12. Through our program that focuses on critical thinking, our students have the opportunity to earn thousands of dollars in college scholarships every year, contributing to a school total that reaches into the millions.

Our students frequently embark on college excursions, both within and beyond state borders, engage in community service, and participate in educational field trips every month.
