Vision, Mission, Purpose,
Philosophy and Goals
 The
Richmond Academy Board is entrusted with the responsibility of defining the
school’s purpose, establishing its philosophy and setting forth objectives to
guide the headmaster and faculty in the daily operation of the school. In
keeping with the standards of accrediting organizations, the purpose,
philosophy, and objectives are subject to review and revision.
Vision:
Mission:
Richmond Academy is a coeducational,
independent, college- preparatory school dedicated to nurturing and challenging
the whole person — body, mind, and spirit — to the glory of God. Committed to
Christ, Richmond Academy strives to provide a biblically based, academically
excellent education in a nurturing environment, developing students’ full
potential to impact their world for Christ.
Purpose:
Richmond Academy’s purpose is to nurture and
develop the whole student - not just to educate the mind. The goal of the school
is to do more than simply educate young people for college; rather, we are
preparing them for life. We are a partnership of home and school, working
together for the purpose of preparing students academically, spiritually and
emotionally for the challenge of life. We “disciple” students in their
relationship with their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and bring honor and glory
to Christ through our educational ministry.
Philosophy:
The school’s philosophy is symbolized by a
triangle whose sides represent spiritual, academic, and athletic development.
Through this philosophy, the school seeks to ensure that strong academics and
challenging athletics can prosper together in an environment in which God is the
foundation.
