Renaissance Academy prepares students for college and career through themed study in law, government, and justice. Academic highlights include an introduction to law course and an innovative homeland security program. Students are supported in a small school environment where they plan for postsecondary options. Our school motto invites you to “Begin Your Quest.”

There is a pending set of recommendations related to this school community.
