Your Impact
Every gift to Renaissance Academy Charter School of the Arts helps shape a brighter future for our students. Your support opens doors to exceptional educational opportunities, creative exploration, and life-changing experiences that many of our children would not otherwise have access to. Whether it’s funding scholarships, supporting the arts, or enhancing academic enrichment, your generosity directly fuels our mission to nurture each child’s potential through a vibrant, inclusive learning environment.
Student Need
The needs of the Rochester community at large mirror the needs of our school community as well. Housing and food insecurity and lack of access to opportunities and resources are barriers for both our students and their families.
A gift to our Student Needs Fund helps support initiatives like:
Our on-site food pantry
Alternative transportation for students experiencing homelessness.
Resources and supplies for students and families in crisis.
Support Roles
Vital support roles supporting areas such as social emotional wellness, family services, and behavioral health support are funded through the generosity of local foundations and donors.
These roles help ensure:
Every child has a safe person and place to go when faced with challenges or adversity.
Our families can rely on us to help connect, uplift, and support them.
Our staff has the support they need to help every child succeed.
Student and Teacher Development
Education is the business of growing and developing people. Whether that means pouring into student development through equitable access to opportunities or ensuring our teachers have the training, job growth, and autonomy to be successful.
Some ways your gift will support student and teacher development are:
Helping fund our before-school enrichment program "ENCORE," that partners with local organizations to provide free music, art, and dance lessons, as well as intro to sports and other clubs.
Provide professional development for our teachers in areas such as__________.
Scholarships
Our Student Scholarship Fund helps support graduating 6th grade students from RA who are perusing education at a tuition-based school for middle and high school.
Even after financial aid, many families cannot afford to have their student attend one of the many quality tuition-based schools in our area.
Our graduates are currently attending:
Allendale Columbia
Aquinas Institute
McQuaid Jesuit
Nativity Preparatory Academy
Our Lady of Mercy
The Harley School
