Our 8th graders are having an unforgettable time i Our 8th graders are having an unforgettable time in Washington, D.C.—and one highlight was extra special ❤️

They received a VIP campus tour from a proud Rhoades alum who attended K–8 and is now a junior at Harvard studying neuroscience! She shared her journey, inspired our students, and gave them a glimpse into what’s possible.

Moments like these make the trip even more meaningful.

Our 5th graders had an unforgettable SWIFT adventu Our 5th graders had an unforgettable SWIFT adventure at Ghost Ranch in Albuquerque! From exploring Native American culture and history to learning about legendary artist Georgia O’Keeffe, archaeology, and even discovering ancient dinosaur bones, every moment was packed with hands-on learning. Between hiking the breathtaking landscape, exploring the town, and building independence, students turned classroom instruction into meaningful real-world experiences filled with growth, discovery, and adventure. 🌄🦕✨
