School Overview
The **Richmond Acceleration Program (RAP)**, located at 100 W. Baker St. in Richmond, VA, serves as an alternative educational setting designed to support students who are at risk of falling behind or who require a different approach to succeed in their K-12 journey. As an "acceleration" program, its primary mission is to help students recover academic credits, improve their grade-level proficiency, and address the specific barriers that may have hindered their progress in a traditional school environment.

The program typically emphasizes a smaller, more personalized learning atmosphere that allows for targeted instruction and social-emotional support. By focusing on individualized learning paths, the Richmond Acceleration Program aims to re-engage students, build their confidence, and provide them with the necessary tools to eventually graduate and transition successfully into post-secondary education or the workforce.
