ALPHA & OMEGA HOUSE SYSTEM

All FRA upper school students are divided into two groups: Alpha and Omega. These groups compete in academic and athletic competitions throughout the year, as well as other fun events, promoting school spirit and healthy competition. Alpha and Omega groups are further subdivided into eight houses. Throughout the year, these teams will compete for bragging rights in basketball, trivia, dodgeball, powder puff football, sing-offs, and many more events. May Day concludes the year of events and presents the trophy to the winning team after a fury of field day events. The winning House bears the trophy throughout the next school year and has their name engraved on the Alpha/Omega trophy.

Interim

During the week before spring break, FRA provides unique experiential learning opportunities for upper school students. Each faculty member sponsors a class, trip, internship, job shadow, or service project. The opportunities for exploration change every year and the wide selection of experiential and service learning opportunities allow FRA students to broaden their understanding of the world around them and explore vocational or philanthropic goals. Interim is an integral part of the educational experience at FRA, and all students are expected to participate. Interim is graded on a pass/fail basis and completion of interim is required for graduation.
