Discover the Power of eMindset at REAL Journey Academies

At REAL Journey Academies (RJA), we believe in preparing students for a future that's dynamic and full of possibilities. That's why we've cultivated something more profound than a program – we've cultivated an eMindset.

What is eMindset?

It's Our Way of Thinking, Being, and Doing.

Our eMindset is the foundational philosophy that shapes how every RJA student approaches learning, challenges, and their entire future. It’s integrated into everything we do, empowering students to thrive not just academically, but as well-rounded individuals ready for a complex world.

The eMindset is composed of three interconnected components, forming a continuous wheel of growth and development:

eBalance supports students in developing essential life skills for well-being—managing time, regulating emotions, and creating a healthy, sustainable approach to daily life.
eFutures prepares students for what lies ahead by cultivating future-ready skills like creativity, adaptability, critical thinking, and digital fluency—while guiding them through career awareness, preparation, and placement.
eKnowledge nurtures academic growth and beyond, fostering a love of learning, strong foundational skills, and the ability to apply knowledge in real-world contexts.

These three dimensions work together to shape students into lifelong learners equipped for a rapidly evolving world.

How is RJA Different?

We Don't Just Educate Minds – We Grow eMindsets.

Many schools prioritize academic instruction above all else. At RJA, we take a non-traditional approach, focusing on the development of the whole student. This commitment to growing eMindset is what truly sets us apart:

Beyond Academics: While we teach a rigorous curriculum aligned with California's standards, our primary focus is on developing resilient, self-aware individuals.
Holistic Development: Our three eMindset components ensure that students are supported in managing stress, building healthy relationships, exploring emerging skills, and understanding leadership thinking, alongside their academic pursuits.

Ready for Life: The ultimate benefit of an RJA education is that our learners leave not just ready for tests, but truly ready for life. They are prepared to navigate challenges, embrace new opportunities, and succeed in whatever future paths they choose.
