Dear Redwood Families,
Welcome to a new academic year at Redwood Classical Academy! We are so grateful for your partnership as we continue to cultivate a learning environment where we can be wise in God's ways, delight in His world and serve others with joy. It is a privilege to walk alongside your family as we train hearts and minds in the rich tradition of Christian education.
We are excited to begin the 2025–2026 school year on Tuesday, August 26, 2025. To help you prepare for a smooth and meaningful start, please take note of the following important dates:
📅 Important Upcoming Dates
We are currently transitioning to a new financial management system called FACTS, which will allow you to log in and view your account balance along with other features. More information will be provided soon. We thank you for your patience. Please note that your first tuition payment is due in July.
👕 Uniforms & Supplies
To ensure classrooms are ready by the first day, each student will need a uniform t-shirt and classroom supplies. Uniform shirts will be available for purchase at the Back-to-School event or online through Lands’ End (School ID: 900202847).
Family School Supplies (please bring these to Parent Orientation):
We invite you to join us for our Summer Work Day as we prepare the campus for the year ahead. It’s a wonderful opportunity to serve and connect with other families. Sign-up here!
🎁 Support RCA with Donated or Wishlist Items
We’re excited to be making over two classrooms this summer—and we need your help! As a non-profit, we rely on the generosity of our community. One practical way to support us is by helping us gather classroom items through your local “Buy Nothing” Facebook groups. These neighborhood-based groups focus on gifting gently used items to others nearby.
We encourage you to check our list of needed items and see if anything can be sourced through your local group. Every donation makes a difference!
If you'd like to help in a hands-on way, you can drop off items at the school between 9:00–11:00 AM on the following dates:
June 14, June 24, or July 8.
Thank you for partnering with us to create beautiful, welcoming spaces for our students!
Donated Items:
We are thrilled to announce that RCA is partnering with South City Community School to join their Fall CYC Soccer Team!
Mission: To create a positive and nurturing environment for soccer players of all levels to enhance their skills and cultivate teamwork.

🌞 Summer Events

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. We are eager to see all that God will do in and through our community this year. If you have any questions or would like to connect, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
With joy and gratitude,
The RCA team
