Smart Block Schedule + FLEX Time for Real Growth
Our schedule gives you the best of both worlds. One set of classes meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with extended blocks—perfect for labs, Socratic discussions, writing workshops, or team projects. The other set meets Tuesday and Thursday in shorter periods that keep the pace fresh and focused. Consequently, students learn more deeply without feeling overwhelmed by constant switching.
In addition, our FLEX bell offers built-in breathing room during the school day. Students use FLEX time for academic help, clubs, service, leadership prep, or catching up. This rhythm keeps the day purposeful and flexible, rather than adding hours after school.
Leadership Curriculum That Feels Real
Leadership at Royalmont isn’t a club—it’s a curriculum. Across four years, students progress through a structured pathway that develops self-knowledge, communication, collaboration, and service. In other words, they practice leadership every day, not just once in a while.
- Discover Your Strengths: Regular reflection, coaching, and faith-rooted self-awareness help you own who you are.
- Speak & Lead: Projects, presentations, and rhetorical practice sharpen your voice and confidence.
- Team Projects: Collaborate on initiatives—service-led, purpose-driven, hands-on—that make a real difference.
- Apprenticeship Opportunities: Partner with a professional, nonprofit, or tradesperson to explore a field you care about.
- Senior Capstone: Integrate faith, service, leadership, and scholarship in a culminating project.
College-Prep, Entrepreneurship, or Apprenticeship—Your Choice
Whether you’re headed to college or dreaming of starting your own venture, Royalmont prepares you. Research shows that nearly 61% of teens would rather start a business than work a traditional job (ngpf.org). We respond to that reality by embedding entrepreneurship and leadership development into the curriculum. As a result, students gain practical skills and confidence to create, innovate, and lead.
At the same time, not every student is college-bound. We recognize the growing interest in trades and technical careers. Therefore, our curriculum includes both in-class exploration of gifts and an apprenticeship program that provides hands-on experience. Students graduate with a clearer sense of calling and skills employers value (urban.org).
Belong, Compete, Create
At Royalmont, students don’t just sit on the bench—they get involved. You can run cross country, play golf, or compete in volleyball (middle and high school). Basketball, track, swimming, and bowling are also in the mix – and we are a no-cut school, meaning everyone gets to play! Moreover, you can act in or work behind the scenes for drama, lead faith clubs, or start something new. Because of our size, you get the chance to participate and shine.
Our community is intentionally close-knit. Teachers know students by name, peers become lasting friends, and no one gets lost in the crowd. Consequently, students discover their gifts and learn how to use them well.
Graduate Ready—For College, Career, or Mission
Students leave Royalmont not just with a transcript, but with transferable skills: writing, speaking, leading, organizing, and collaborating. They also gain mentors who invest in their success and faith that anchors their future. As a result, they graduate ready for college, trades, service, or entrepreneurship.
Our alumni succeed in the paths God places before them because they practice leadership and virtue every day here. They carry resilience, confidence, and a servant’s heart wherever they go.
