ABOUT US
RIO Christian Academy (“RCA” or the “school”) was founded in 2022 as a Christian School. It operates as a private, non-profit, non-denominational Christian School. RIO Christian Academy operates solely on the authority of the Board of Directors that governs the policies and procedures of the school.
​
The mission of RIO Christian Academy is to provide a rich academic culture where students are encouraged to perform at their personal best academic level each day, while participating in a culture that is rich in Christian Principles in all aspects of the operation of the school.
RIO Christian Academy has a strong worldview on the importance of a personal relationship with God. This personal relationship causes the employees, parents, and most importantly the students to be able to openly discuss God in all areas. In addition to the openness about the Lord and His ability to help us in all things, academics will be rigorous to the extent that each student will be able to grow and learn at a pace that it is challenging and sustainable.
RCA will also individualize learning on a daily basis. This will make learning personal and intentional for each child. Students will be met where they are in the educational process and steps will be put in place to help them grow from one year to the next. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to be an active part in the learning process and to do whatever they can within their reach to help their child get the most out of each academic school year.
​
We currently serve ages Pre-K through 2nd Grade. RIO Christian Academy will be working towards a Pre-K through 5th grade school over the next 5 years adding at least one grade per year.
STATEMENT OF FAITH
We believe that all scripture is God breathed and is useful for daily application in our lives today. We believe that the Bible is the final authority in life.
We believe in one true God and that He exists in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
We believe that man was created in God’s image and that God distinctly created both male and female. We believe that they both have an unique and unified purpose. We also recognize that Adam’s fall created a need for a Savior. Therefore, Jesus Christ came to the earth, fully God and fully man to die for all, so we can be saved from our sin through faith, by grace as we accept the work on the cross as a personal gift of mercy on our behalf.
