The mission of Rhode Island Mayoral Academies (RIMA) is to support the statewide growth of Mayoral Academies. Mayoral Academies are high-performing, diverse, independent public schools governed by mayor-led school boards. We accomplish our mission by:

• Recruiting extraordinary school operators and leaders to open Mayoral Academies;

• Supporting Mayoral Academies from the application stage through the first years of growth;

• Cultivating mayors across Rhode Island to become leaders in education reform.
