Richmond Academy

Effective schools exist for the students; students do not exist for the school. Chuck Swindoll

Richmond Academy seeks to admit girls and boys of average and above average academic ability who desire to be part of a school whose mission is focused on developing students in academics, athletics, and spiritual growth to the glory of God. During the admission process, the admission committee seeks to understand each applicant’s aspirations, dreams, and giftedness. One of the goals of the admission process is to predict a student’s academic progress. Knowing that understanding the mission of Richmond Academy is a process (that is a joyful journey) for each family, we seek to discern whether the student and family would ultimately embrace the mission of the school.

Given the unique nature of the school, the headmaster and the director of admission occasionally accept students who are considered academic risks but whose families desire our mission.

In summary, Richmond Academy’s vision is about:

• Teachers who seek to serve

• Teaching students to serve

• Stepping down to lead

• Leadership which inspires and empowers the faculty and students to carry out our mission

• Students seeking their God-given talents

• Teachers who excite and challenge students to think.

…But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, to Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen. 2 Peter 3:18
