Our Central Points of Unity:

Community 

​By definition  education is the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction and community is a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals. Therefore, home educating  alongside a Christian Community is an asset to the Christian family.  We strive to strengthen  each other in our faith and our goals in Christian love as we walk the common path.  We encourage community  by means of weekly assemblies in hopes that all involved will develop meaningful relationships with one another.   

Content

The curriculum content of RCA is very selective, well-researched, and thought through. It is important to give our children and families the very best content to provide a meaningful academic feast. RCA chooses Charlotte Mason methods because it encourages academic excellence by teaching children how to learn and think through reading living books that have stood the test of time.

Culture

Our community will cultivate an environment full of delight, peace, and refreshment over time.  This will begin with our adoration of God at our center, supportive parents, and inspired mentors, all of which will flow into our student body.  A cooperative culture will develop as students, parents, and mentors alike do their part faithfully and in love.  The culture of RCA will be shaped by Ecclesiastical traditions, unity, beauty and worship which will be embedded in the rhythms, routines, practices and traditions of our community.  

Competency  

Being rooted in the classical tradition means that certain values and practices will characterize our approach.  First, we will not be unnecessarily hurried.  Second, depth is preferable over breadth.  Third, living ideas come from living books.  And fourth, we will seek to embody the wisdom and knowledge of our curriculum through our practice of community, in the songs we sing, and in fostering an ongoing posture of wonder and curiosity toward God’s world. To make this come to fruition, RCA will hire excellent and highly competent Mentors/parents  who will embody these ideals in their classrooms who have been trained and exhibit a love of Jesus Christ and a love of learning.
