I have to admit I was a little nervous when I first placed my daughter in RCA s K4 class. I had heard that they were pretty strict, and they are. However, the environment has been wonderful for her. She has thrived at RCA and has amazed my husband and I with what she has learned not only academically
... Read more but spiritually as well. With all the stories you hear nowadays of children bring guns to school, becoming pregnant in middle school, etc., I wanted a safe and nourishing environment for her to grow and develop. Because of our positive experience there, I have transferred my son from public school to RCA as well. Bottom line if you care about your children growing up to be very well-educated, kind and respectful of others, have a spiritual and moral understanding, you should send them to Raleigh Christian Academy.

My son has attended RCA for two years. It has been a blesssing. He was reading books at four and memorizing Scriptures better than most adults. The environment is a conservative, Christian one. For my family, it has been the perfect solution. The teachers are very kind and GENUINELY care for the
... Read more students. They encourage support from the parents and family as well. The school is affordable compared to most private schools out there, but my family is 'below average' in income. If it were up to me, rather than my wallet, I would send each of my children to RCA for all 12 years. Wonderful school! Read less

Both of our children excel academically, and quite frankly, we are amazed at the level of their academics. Spiritually, we have found that the teachers are not only qualified

Best of all...RCA is very affordable unlike some other private schools. We are very pleased! Read less

RCA is a wonderful school! They have teachers that I trust with my children because they love my children.

This school is fine if your child is discipline. If your child is not discipline, most teachers look at him as a 'problem'. There tends to be quite a bit of racial tention with some of the teachers and that in itself made me want to take my child out of the school. I can't see paying an institution
... Read more for that type of environment. Academically, the school is fine but I also found that they teach so that the child memorizes as opposed to comprehending. The math skills that are taught are also lacking so if you move your child to public school, they are behind. The reading skills they teach are ok but without comprehending that becomes a problem as well. This school is NOT for everyone; great foundation where discipline and early education (daycare/pre-K)are concerned. Read less
