What we do

Simply put, we help you dramatically increase enrollment and student retention.   Enrollment is the direct result of Marketing efforts and parent confidence as inspired by your image and mission.  The R4 initiative is two concurrent and parallel programs profoundly transforming both your school’s marketing/enrollment and the level in which students are prepared for life.  The R4 program virtually ensures that your school’s message and mission will inspire confidence that your school is best choice for parents.   Our R4 initiative promises an additional commitment to integrity, personal growth and academic success, graduating students who are absolutely ready to succeed as adults and ready for life.

The R4 is uniquely effective in turning your school from a purely academic institution into an Institution where personal integrity, civic mindedness and leadership are supported by a grand statement and promise to put these character-building and vital virtues into the heart and soul of their education.   We have put this incalculably powerful mission into a program with a clearly visible initiative that is proudly communicated and promoted in your marketing.   As a result, parents recognizing the valuable role your school can play in every student’s life, while promising the prospect of making their child “ready for life “ will quickly deliver higher student enrollment and retention.

Finally, we provide guidance in effortlessly incorporating the R4 initiative into your current curriculum.   The most exciting part or this transformation is that it requires remarkably little effort to turn your school into an R4 School.  Let us show you how this exciting program can help your school become an Institution of Inspired Learning.

The R4 Initiative:
A Realignment of Priority, Knowledge and Values.

Preparation for life is only partially based on education on your path of choice.   Although very important, a students’ GPA quickly becomes unimportant, and often irrelevant upon graduation.   A young adult’s life path and rise to the success they seek is purely dependent on their work ethic, integrity and accountability where it relates to their employer.   Moreover, their ability to harmoniously interact with their peers and demonstrate leadership virtues becomes the metric in which their place in life will be assessed.   Promotions and advancement are a result of demonstrating the highest levels of integrity, leadership and accountability.   Conversely, becoming a successful partner and parent relies completely on the same virtues.   Combine that with some real-life skills and practical insight on the dynamics of managing finances, credit and prudent planning can lead to a fruitful life.

 

As educators our role is to prepare, and not to simply provide information on the varied subjects outlined in the school’s curriculum requirements.   The basis for knowledge is education and learning.   But the rudimentary skills to be acquired to ensure a successful life and career relies more on leadership and accountability, as well as kindness, empathy and integrity.   To be ready for life, you must be ready for more than a career.   Our students must be ready to lead, ready to contribute to a team and be the most selfless version of themselves. An entrepreneurial spirit is a virtue driving our most successful citizens.   They are a shining example of individuals where these virtues have become part of their way of life.   Success is not possible without education and knowledge.   It is also not possible with education alone.   The most successful among us are nearly always those who are the role models for all of these virtues.   Our values need to become evolved.   We must teach our students these values.   Pride in their work must parallel a quest for a dollar. Focus on values and integrity can transform blind ambition into a genuine quest to become the best person they can be.   This is the focus of the R4 program and the key to a prosperous and happy life.

What is the R4?

Nurturing Personal, Spiritual and Academic Potential.

Ready for life. Ready to lead. Ready to Succeed. Ready to Prosper.

The R4 program is designed to take the concept of education and create an ambitious academic program which incorporates an equally important real-world agenda. Our mission is to prepare every single graduate with the skills to embrace his or her next step in life, both academically and personally. Academics and personal virtues are not mutually exclusive, but overlap and contribute to each other and we realize the importance of nurturing both. Our mission is to ensure students are educated, hard-working and compassionate people with uncompromising personal integrity and ready to contribute to society. Graduates will have been academically challenged, but also understand fiscal responsibility, as well as what it takes to become a good parent and spouse.   Unlike traditional school curriculum, The R4 influenced curriculum expands its mission to also focus on nurturing the life skills needed to succeed in every challenge and triumph life has to offer. Leadership skills, work ethic and personal integrity are no less important than academic achievement. Developing a passion for service, God and the self-discipline required to be a great person are also important elements of the R4 approach to education. Our graduates lead. R4 influenced graduates succeed. R4 graduates realize their potential and are ready for life.
