The new school year is fast approaching. We welcome new teachers, new students, and an additional building.
The administration has been working hard this summer to strengthen our school and fine tune our goals and plans. We are dedicated to providing our families with excellent quality in education and administration.
Many Christian schools today offer an easy approach to learning with tolerant character training. At Richmond Academy, we are dedicated to challenging the student to grow far beyond what they think or imagine. Our students grow to be young men and women with intellect for success and with disciplined hearts after God .
We are thankful for the ability, the integrity, and the character that Richmond Academy has through its families, faculty and staff.
-Dr. S. Chad Ross
Richmond Academy is receiving enrollment of new students for the 2005-06 school year. Call or email the office to receive an application packet for your child.
At this time, we offer multi-student discounts for all families. We can also offer up to a 5% discount based on financial need. Beyond this, most churches understand the importance of their children getting a private Christian education and will help. Families interested in Richmond Academy with a financial need should speak to their church's board members and ask for help.
Books ordered July 1
If you are interested in sending your student to Richmond Academy, it is important to apply now. First tuition payment is due June 28 and we want to ensure that your child will have books for the first day of school.
Richmond Academy is growing.
We currently hold lease in Suites A & B of 2000 West Main Street. These two suites were perfect for classes last year, but now it is time to expand again. We have developed a wonderful relationship with our neighbor, Living Word Christian Fellowship at 1990 West Main Street. For the past two years, they have allowed us to use their playground, basketball court, field, and fellowship hall. This year, they are allowing us to partition their fellowship hall for our Upper School classrooms. This will allow us to expand our Lower School and Kindergarten classes at 2000 West Main.
We are thankful to the Lord that He is continuing to make every provision for every family desiring a private quality Christian education.
If you or your church would like to assist in the school’s continual expansion needs, please contact the office.
