“At Roman Avery Academy, students move through seven stages of learning:
Spark → Discover → Explore → Investigate → Engage → Ignite → Launch
Instead of thinking of school as a series of grades, Roman Avery Academy views education as a
journey of growth. Our stages—Spark, Discover, Explore, Investigate, Engage, Ignite, and Launch—reflect how students naturally develop curiosity, deepen understanding, discover passions, and ultimately prepare for their future.
