About
RAAC Academy offers structured 14-week semester programs where students work on aerospace engineering design projects, mission-based real-world challenges, and NASA-style problem-solving, including a NASA challenge and NASA Explorations course linked to national NASA wins. Classes include math, grammar, spelling, science, history, art, reading enrichment, math enrichment, Lego robotics, aerodynamics experiments, space science missions, engineering challenges, and AI (Artificial Intelligence) with hands-on project work using AI to design and play games. Students also participate in entrepreneurship activities such as creating mini businesses, Personal Finance, Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow, Collaborate and Elaborate, playing the stock market game, building a website, marketing, and writing and creating an illustrated book, all in small-group instruction with a teacher–student ratio of 1:14 and intentional class sizes.

RAAC Academy’s mission is to empower students to explore, create, and excel within a rigorous K–12 learning environment through experiential STEM, arts, and life-skills programs, with a focus on intellectual curiosity, creative confidence, and discipline for long-term success, and to cultivate capable thinkers equipped with skills and character beyond the classroom. The program is led by founder Rachna Patel, who is described as a talented STEM educator with 11+ years of teaching and program development experience. RAAC Academy serves homeschool and after-school students (K–12) and offers onsite programs and live virtual instruction that extend its project-based model nationwide, with 150+ families served, a 90% returning student rate each year, and a 97% parent satisfaction rate.
RAAC Academy is an approved enrichment partner with Ocean Grove, South Sutter, Sky Mountain, and RAFT, and serves families across South San Jose, Blossom Valley, Almaden, Evergreen, Morgan Hill, and nearby California communities, along with students nationwide through virtual classes and live online enrichment programs. RAAC Academy and its students have earned national honors and STEM distinction, including 2 NASA National Champions, national recognition through NASA-inspired engineering competitions, and a 1st place win in the Artemis Roads Challenge, and the program holds a Trustindex verified badge with a review score above 4.5 based on customer reviews over the past 12 months.
Parent testimonials describe RAAC Academy as offering creative and fun activities, with Rachna Patel noted as thoughtful, passionate, knowledgeable, patient, kind, caring, smart, flexible, and dedicated, and as going above and beyond to engage and support students. Parents report positive experiences in courses such as NASA Space Exploration, grammar, math, spelling, Lego robotics, the NASA challenge, AI, Personal Finance, Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow, Collaborate and Elaborate, science, history, art, and reading and math enrichment, and describe small class sizes, tailored learning experiences, hands-on activities, quizzes, and a safe and supportive classroom environment. One parent notes that an 8th grade student’s participation in the NASA Explorations course led to a 1st place win in the Artemis Roads Challenge and a trip to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where the team met NASA scientists, saw a live space shuttle launch, and participated in real-world science with peers across the United States.
