Leadership Academy
The RNS Leadership Academy is a student-centered program focused on developing individual leaders and providing leadership opportunities for students in Grades 6-12 in an effort to make a positive contribution to our school community. Students participate in monthly workshops covering a variety of topics in leadership, including character, confidence, commitment, composure and team building. The students involved in the program will also be given opportunity to be involved in future leadership conferences and programs associated with CAIS and ACIS. Inspired by the Janseen Leadership Institute, the RNS Leadership Academy is made up of two groups: emerging leaders, where student will learn to lead by example, and veteran leaders, where students will learn to effective vocal leaders. These groups will work through a series of workshops on a variety of topics and come together to organize, plan and execute events to benefit our school community.
