ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ


Our Team

Welcome on behalf of the RFMA Community,


Our school is committed to the academic achievement and the well-being of each and every one of our students. Our methods and beliefs are grounded in the teaching and writing of ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ, a true advocate for equity and collective action. We hold our community, our colectivo, to incredibly high standards of culturally grounded education and social-emotional learning while supporting with the resources to break down barriers to learning. RFMA is a safe place for all, regardless of background, language, orientation, or any other factor that makes one unique. Our colectivo takes pride in our inclusivity and social justice-oriented teaching.

              My name is Zak Dominello, and I have the privilege of serving as the Executive Director and Principal at ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Academy. I completed an undergraduate degree in Neuroscience from the College of William and Mary and a Master’s Degree in Science Education from Columbia University. I am pursuing a Doctorate in Educational Policy and Leadership from the University of Northern Colorado. Above all, I believe in the capacity of all our Magonistas to graduate from ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Academy and change the world.


"Somos libres, verdaderamente libres, cuando no necesitamos alquilar nuestros brazos a nadie para poder levantar un trozo de pan a nuestras bocas"
