Educational Goals

RCA exists because of the belief that Christian parents should have the opportunity to give their child a quality education based on the Word of God.  Our school views itself as a ministry of Redeemer Baptist Church and seeks to reach the Greater Baton Rouge Area for Jesus Christ.

RCA teaches its students through a balanced curriculum in the intellectual, social, physical, and spiritual areas.  We believe that man’s understanding of himself and others and his relationship with others are a reflection of this balance.

At RCA, we emphasize in school life and studies the purpose of God, and we acknowledge that the primary objective of man is to glorify God in all things.  Our ultimate aim is that each student will know Jesus Christ as their personal, Lord and Savior.

The RCA student is encouraged to reach his fullest potential in every activity and to extend his experience in myriad areas and at various levels of growth.  We are excited about the unique potential of each student and seek to nurture the independent thinking and the creative ability of each student under the Lordship of Christ.  We are each new creations of Him.

Through the faithful teaching of the Word and its practical application to life, we want our students to mature in Christ, to have a balanced wholeness in life, and to have an appreciation of our forefathers who founded this nation under God.  This background will enable our students to be fulfilled people and productive leaders in our high-tech world.
