The school holds two annual productions, during which students have the opportunity to perform Broadway productions like “Annie,” “West Side Story,” and “The Wiz.” Its band has won competitions regionally and nationally, including the Walt Disney World musical competition and Cedar Point Music in the Park musical competition. Rutherford Winans Academy students have the chance to travel even farther on school trips to Europe.
Back in the classroom, teachers facilitate community building to help students develop socially by building positive relationships characterized by experience sharing and conflict resolution.
A Rutherford Winans Academy Education is an education beyond the traditional. Fulfilling its mission, it opens the door to rigorous academics, exposes students to the world of arts and prepares them for excellence.
