Our mission is to help each child cultivate a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ, to instruct children in godly and moral conduct that will help them become wise and mature adults, and to provide a solid foundation of knowledge in a Biblical worldview that will prepare students for the future.
The acceptance of school rules is an especially important part of student training. A student's success depends upon his or her ability to function under the direction of school faculty and staff. We are eagerly looking forward to your support as we endeavor to encourage wholesome attitudes and desirable habits. When a child observes the home and school are working together, we see positive things happen in that child's life.
The welfare and happiness of your child is our deepest concern. We extend a personal invitation to you to visit or call our office at any time.

Parent reviews
I feel this school is the best school I couldn't ask for a better one for my two children who are in 7th and 8th grade The teachers are outstanding.
This is a terrific school! I have two kids in this school. Both kids have IEPs and severe (A.D.D). They have excelled in this school. One of my kids was in the public school system for three years the other two years. I was extremely disappointed with their progress and no matter how much I complained, it seemed like no one was listening. They have been at RMCA for one school year. They have made more noticeable progress in the last nine months than all their combined time in the public school. It seems to me, based on some of the reviews that I have read, the concept of a self-paced curriculum is not being understood. This was clearly explained to me at parent orientation, and just one of the factors that attracted me to the school. As I have gotten to know the curriculum better, I understand that it can work for the advanced student as well as for the student that moves a little slower. It is the best of both worlds. Great school, great curriculum!
