WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT

Thank you for your interest in RIO Christian Academy!

 

My name is Christi Prater, and I serve as the President of RIO Christian Academy, and the Vice President of RIO. I have served in this capacity at RIO since 1999, but I have also spent 17 years in the public school system as I worked bivocationally. 

 

Although my children have graduated from high school already, I have such a special place in my heart for the children in our community and helping them reach their fullest potential. I have seen the benefit of rich academics, and I have also seen the impact of raising children in a way that they are exposed to the truth in their daily lives, especially in their formative years.  We are not interested in creating a bubble at RIO Christian Academy, but rather a safe learning environment where their young minds are free to learn to the best of their ability, yet remain shielded from views that would change the foundational truths of Christian Families. 

 

We promote a Christ-Centered culture, with a strong academic focus, in a safe learning environment.  We welcome you as you learn more about who we are and whether or not this is a right fit for you and your family.
