Mission Statement
Reformation Classical Academy exists to assist parents in the godly training of their children by offering academic instruction from a thoroughly biblical perspective, by equipping our students to learn for themselves using the proven classical method, and by providing them with an orderly and engaging work environment.
Vision Statement
We aim to graduate young men and women who think clearly
and listen carefully with discernment and understanding; who speak precisely, reason persuasively, and conduct themselves graciously; who are capable of evaluating all knowledge and human experience in the
light of the Scriptures; who do so with humility and gratitude in joyful submission to God; and who serve faithfully in Christ’s church and work diligently to advance his kingdom.
Distinctives
How does the RCA model compare to other educational options?
-
Vs. public schools and secular private schools: While these schools are ideologically committed and (for public schools) legally committed to ignoring God, a reformational school will do just the opposite. There will be no misconception that science, math, art, literature, or language can be truly understood apart from its Source and end.
-
Vs. homeschooling: The proposed school utilizes the unique abilities and specialized knowledge of a cadre of teachers. Parental convictions and worldview are reinforced by multiple adults; these also provide authority figures other than the parent to whom the child is academically accountable.
-
Vs. online schooling: The teaching is “incarnational,” with in-the-flesh teachers both imparting and modeling understanding and wisdom. Also, opportunities for stimulating interaction between students and for joint activities are a regular and natural aspect of the learning.
-
Vs. other Christian schools: It is self-consciously reformed, striving for an educational experience which derives from these reformed distinctives.
