Hosting events at RCA is essential for building a strong and connected community. These gatherings foster collaboration, celebration, and support, strengthening our mission and values beyond the classroom. More than that, community events bring hope into people's homes because relationships are what spur us on. In a world that often feels disconnected, these connections inspire, encourage, and remind us that we are not alone in this journey. Join us in creating opportunities for hope to flourish and for lasting impact to take root in our community.

Homeschoolers are natural researchers, always searching for the best resources, communities, and opportunities for their families. When we effectively market Redwood, we provide a clear and accurate picture of what’s available, helping others make informed decisions. Sharing a social media post or writing a review on Redwood’s behalf isn’t self-promotion—it’s a way to bring clarity and hope to families who may be struggling in their homeschool journey. Families don’t have to sell—they just need to share their honest experiences. A simple share, comment, or recommendation could be the encouragement another family needs to find the support, structure, and community they they desperately need.
Ideas? Share the mission of the school within your church, social circles, and community groups. Help connect the RCA to local businesses, churches, or other groups that might support or partner with us. Personally invite friends, neighbors, and fellow grandparents to school programs or fundraisers.

At Redwood Classical Academy, we believe in being the hands and feet of Jesus by coming alongside families who are committed to building strong, Christ-centered homes. Many parents are courageously choosing a path of intentional education and discipleship, and they need a community of support. By serving these families—through practical ways—we become part of the Kingdom work of nurturing the next generation. It’s a beautiful calling to lift up those who are investing deeply in their children.

Volunteer to read living books during a special class time every week.
