In August, 1999, Rockford Environmental Science Academy (RESA) opened on a 48 acre site in southwest Rockford. It is adjacent to Klehm Arboretum and Botanical Center. RESA students participate in a curriculum that incorporates an environmental science theme into the standard district core curriculum. State-of-the-art science equipment and computer technology allow students to acquire information from all over the world. In addition, our greenhouse and Earth Center provide areas for hands-on study and experiments.
We are a diverse urban middle school of approximately 1,300 middle school students. The school houses three teams each of 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. Each team of 125-150 students operates as a unit within the school. The core teachers on each team plan together and deliver instruction in Science, Math, Social Studies, English, and Language Arts. Many activities are interdisciplinary.
As a supplement to their five core classes, RESA students participate in the following Encore Classes: Environmental Sciences, Physical Education and Health. There is limited opportunity for students to opt to take band and art.
RESA is a kind, student friendly school. With the theme of Love and Logic, our staff is dedicated to appreciating differences in each other and ones culture. RESA clebrates diversity.
