WELCOME TO SUMMER STRETCH 2017 WITH THE RC!

Due to unexpected snow dates pushing various schools last day to June 26th/27th, Summer Stretch will now start on Wednesday, June 28th. For the first two weeks, classes will be held WTHF from 9:00AM - 2:20PM. The last three weeks, starting with July 10th, will be held MTTH from 9:00AM - 2:20PM.

The RC's Summer Program provides an intensive, inspirational and in-depth learning experience for students who are ready and prepared to take on the challenge. We offer a rich variety of math, science, literature, philosophy, and writing classes. Class size is small, with a faculty who are experienced teachers and specialists in their fields.
