Rocky Hill School

Additional:

6. Collaboration between the school, Save The Bay, and URI's ecological lab to save the bay and restore wetlands.

7. The club partnered with New England Tech. The club raised funds to use New England Tech's lab and 3D printers to make prosthetic hands for children in Rwanda, hoping to provide assistance to children affected by war.

8. Seminar Program (RHS Seminar Course): Starts in 9th grade, twice a week, 40 minutes each session, taught by subject teachers, college counselors, and guest speakers, specifically preparing students for comprehensive and standardized exams.

Rocky Hill is located in Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, with a beautiful seaside environment. There is a large golf course opposite the school. I have visited the school three times.

1. The school conducts classes (environmental studies, sailing, marine biology, ocean exploration, etc.) outdoors, which not only cultivates students' environmental awareness but also achieves harmony between humans and nature.

2. Featured courses include marine and environmental science programs. Robotics, mathematics, and science programs are also excellent.

3. Internship programs are offered to 12th-grade students: The school collaborates with four companies in Rhode Island, and every year 12th-grade students have the opportunity to work and intern at these four companies.

4. Music and art are very strong, and every year students from the school win gold and silver awards at the Rhode Island Arts Festival.

5. Students from Liuschool.com are enrolled there and the feedback is quite good. During the school visit, I truly felt the school's enthusiasm and friendliness towards international students from the principal and admissions director.

1. Harkness discussion method: Students can sit around the desks rather than directly at them. This allows our international students to practice and communicate in English more freely with other classmates, expressing their willingness and ideas for solving problems.
2. Small class sizes: An average class size of 12 students ensures all students receive personalized attention.
3. Outdoor learning opportunities on an 84-acre waterfront campus: Enhances the school's rich science curriculum resources, including environmental studies, marine ecology, and oceanography.
4. Comprehensive visual arts program: Includes drawing, oil painting, printmaking, ceramics, digital photography, video production, art fabrication, and fine arts portfolio classes. Graduates can matriculate into institutions like the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), Pratt Institute, and more.
5. Partnership with Trinity Repertory Company: Students receive guidance from professionals in the performing arts field.
6. Counseling courses: Our students have access to dedicated counselors throughout their four years of study and can receive guidance and learn using the innovative and modern university counseling software system—the Maya system.
7. Independent learning environment: Gives our students the opportunity to customize their own curriculum.
8. Partnership with the University of Rhode Island: Exposes our students to the influence of university and graduate-level students and professors.
