The Vision

From the Headmaster

It is hard to believe that we are in the final quarter of another year. This year has reaped great rewards of the sowing that has taken place in previous years.

This year has been another year of excellence at our school. We placed second in the city spelling bee. We also placed second at the regional science fair. Eighty percent of our students are on the honor roll. Behavior and attendance also continue to be excellent. The supporters of Richmond Academy have made the difference. The people who have a strong relationship with Jesus Christ help set our school apart from other schools.

This year, I will be the speaker at our Triune Banquet and will share with you about our “Five Years of Ministry.” It is my hope and prayer that every parent, grandparent, pastor, sponsor, and friend of Richmond Academy will be here to hear and receive the ongoing vision for our school.

-Dr. S. Chad Ross

Testimonials

Lynne O. - What a blessing it has been to have all three of my children in Richmond Academy. First, since my children began attending Richmond Academy, I have noticed a strong improvement in their attitudes and behavior. Not only do they argue less at home, they come home with moods much improved from last year. Second, each child’s academic needs are being met on an individual basis. Whether the child needs more time on a specific concept or needs advancement, the teacher meets each one’s need. Third, the atmosphere promotes student achievement. Teachers demand each individual student’s best while fellow students accept each other regardless of the academic ability. Beyond all this, however, is the fact that God’s Word is taught daily, not just in Bible class, but also in their literature, history, and science classes. What more could a parent want? I thank God for inspiring Dr. Ross to create this alternative to public education, for each and every one of the faculty and staff who are dedicated to this mission.

Mellissa S. - I am very pleased with our experience at Richmond Academy. [Our daughter] has had some bad experiences in her early years of school and was nervous about returning to the "classroom." She came home within the first week in love with her classes and teachers! It has only continued to grow as she has been allowed to grow and be herself while searching her way with God. Thank you for following God's call.

Carol L. - Richmond Academy is a wonderful Christian learning environment for my daughters. Not only are they learning from and being challenged by the curriculum, they are being taught truth through God's word. I pray that Richmond Academy continues to grow so that my daughters are given a strong Christian education through all 12 years of their schooling.

Marcella R. - We believe RA was a blessing from above. We were looking for a new school. [Our son's] old school closed. Sure enough, one day we picked up the newspaper and there it was: Answer to prayer! Each person has a different set of needs. We feel that RA is helping us meet the needs of our child. We pray for and hope to help support each and everyone at Richmond Academy. Thank you.

Larry P. - Richmond Academy has been wonderful for our two kids, especially the one in kindergarten. He and his sister are learning so much, so fast, it has amazed us. We are so thankful they can learn their reading, writing and other skills and still have God at the center of it all while they are in their formative years. We believe they are getting equipped in every area to live a victorious, fruitful life. It's a blessing to be in on the beginning of something awesome!
