the greatest social investment
education
RTRA believes that high-quality education provides the highest return on any social investment and has the power to advance an entire community. It’s truly the difference maker for prolonged social and economic development. Our approach to education goes beyond K-12; we value trades and skills development of all ages and partner with community center leaders, regional schools, and caregivers to create an ecosystem of learning that is focused on sustained success.
why education?
As this new generation ages into the workforce, they will enter into a heavily saturated and highly competitive employment landscape due to the rapid population growth and unmatched economic development of the country.
Many children with disabilities or long-term illnesses, those without caregivers, and households faced with financial instability are at risk of school exclusion and dropout.
As a student gets older, pressures to financially contribute to the household and/or care for siblings and family members become greater. In addition, many students lack the promise of a high-quality education at a primary level, making the transition to secondary much more difficult.
A lack of full-time employment by many schools necessitates teachers to supplement their income with additional part-time positions outside of the school. Often teachers are not provided sufficient learning aids, must commute long distances, and are discouraged by limited opportunities for professional development.

our programs
RTRA INCLUDES A NURSERY, PRIMARY, AND HIGH SCHOOL.
Seeing students’ educational journey from start to finish helps to ensure their individual success. RTRA is among the top five performing schools across three districts, offering students a competitive edge. We also provide students with career counseling and academic guidance to help determine clear action steps toward their dreams.
OUR PRIMARY SCHOOL BOASTS A 97% COMPLETION RATE.
We evaluate the unique needs of each household supporting children through continuous health care programs, social work, remedial courses, daily nutrition, and on-campus housing opportunities. This multifaceted approach to wellbeing has reduced illness-related absences allowing students to focus on their schoolwork.
RTRA'S ON-CAMPUS HIGH SCHOOL FACILITATES AN EASIER TRANSITION INTO SECONDARY SCHOOL.
This allows students to maintain support and close bonds with their family, friends, and community that have been a part of their journey from the start. Community Engagement also plays a crucial role in secondary retention. We provide caregivers with opportunities for income generation to decrease social and financial pressures faced by adolescents.
WE OFFER FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT TO TEACHERS AND STAFF TO REDUCE SUPPLEMENTAL INCOME NEED.
Employees are offered benefits such as local housing, health care, and continued education. We partner with 36 schools in the surrounding districts to collectively set standards for curriculum, staffing, and leadership. In combination, these factors encourage staff presence, motivation, and professionalism.
The Forever Family program goals are aimed at family strengthening, reunification, and long-term care. Students are eligible for on-campus boarding, balanced meals, clean water, improved hygiene facilities, scholastic materials, dedicated housemothers, and much more.
