• The Rochester International  Academy Advisory Board

     
    The Rochester International Academy could not achieve its Mission and Vision without the input of various community members. Our Advisory Board members represent the community we serve with representatives from a range of organizations throughout the Rochester community.  These organizations include schools, youth-services organizations and universities. Advisory Board meetings are held in the library at RIA the first Tuesday of each month at 8:15 a.m.
