Student Support Services at the Rochester International Academy

As our students and families are working to adjust to a new life here in the United States, we work with all involved stakeholders to support this transition into the American culture.  Our goal is to provide social, emotional and academic support to our students to ensure each child is successful in school and life.  We collaborate with teachers in the classroom, we work with agencies in the community and we involve families in all that we can in order to strengthen the foundation that families and students are rebuilding.  We take a very collective approach in all that we do at RIA, we are not just a school…we are family.
