The pipeline for progress in any community is often found in the school system. Rittman's pride in their educational offerings is an honest expression of commitment to excellence. Students are exposed to a multitude of programs as they progress from grade school through middle school to high school. Education as a process includes the elements of Mathematics, English and the Sciences while exposing students to art, music, and physical education. A small classroom atmosphere offers the opportunity for educators to work closely with each student.

Special instruction for high achievers is available as well as classes for the developmentally handicapped and learning disabled. A very competitive interscholastic sports program is offered to student athletes to test their skills against other young people in the Wayne County League.

In addition to the community school system, high school students may elect to pursue vocational training at the Wayne County Joint Career Center. Instruction in carpentry, auto mechanics, food service, and other skilled jobs are combined with a basic academic regimen to prepare young people for immediate entry into the work force.

Post high school instruction is available at a number of surrounding institutions. The College of Wooster and Ashland University offer strong small campus curriculums. Akron University and Kent State University--both state funded institutions--offer a broad variety of undergraduate and graduate programs. Wayne General and Technical College and the Agricultural Technical Institute both offer 2-year degrees in a number of specialized fields of training.
