J-Term 2023 at Randolph-Macon Academy

At Randolph-Macon Academy, academic enrichment and experiential learning are at the forefront of our teaching philosophy. That’s why R-MA offers students the chance to take their education one step further with our January Term (J-Term).

The J-Term is a 3-week term between the Fall and Spring semesters.
