WHAT MAKES RIVERSIDE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY A UNIQUE AND CHERISHED INSTITUTION, AND WHY SHOULD IT BE YOUR PREFERRED SCHOOL OF CHOICE?
 

Christ-Centered Foundation: At Riverside, our foundation is firmly rooted in Christian values. We are committed to providing an environment where faith is integrated into every aspect of education, fostering the spiritual growth and character development of our students.
Academic Excellence: We take pride in our rigorous academic curriculum that challenges and inspires students to achieve their full potential. Our dedicated faculty members are not only educators but also mentors who guide students in their academic journey. 
Holistic Development: Education at Riverside goes beyond textbooks. We focus on the holistic development of our students – academically, spiritually, emotionally, and socially. Through a range of extracurricular activities, we aim to nurture well-rounded individuals. 
Safe and Supportive Community: Creating a safe and supportive community is a priority for us. Our small class sizes allow for personalized attention, and our close-knit community ensures that each student feels valued, heard, and supported.
Partnership with Parents: We believe that education is a partnership between the school and parents. Regular communication, parent-teacher collaboration, and involvement in school activities are key components of this partnership.
Mission-Driven Approach: Our mission is to empower students with knowledge, character, and a love for God. This mission drives every decision we make and sets the tone for a purposeful and meaningful educational experience.

I invite you to explore Riverside Christian Academy further and discover the transformative journey we offer to our students. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule a visit to experience RCA’s community firsthand.

Thank you for considering Riverside as your partner in shaping the future for your child.

Location: RCA’s campus is located on 38 acres of scenic land that runs along the Elk River in Fayetteville, Tennessee. RCA’s South-Central Tennessee location provides the ideal small-town experience, although it is only 30 miles from metropolitan Huntsville and 70 miles from metropolitan Nashville.
Enrollment: RCA's enrollment traditionally averages around 300 students.
Bus Service: RCA provides a bus service from the Madison County area in North Alabama every day. The bus picks up students at Plainview Church of Christ in Hazel Green each morning and returns at 3:15 every afternoon.

"I was so blessed to spend eight years at RCA. The relationships I formed with my teachers and peers challenged me, blessed me, and pushed me to be the best I could be, both academically and spiritually. At RCA, I learned the invaluable lesson that education is important, but there is nothing more important than living a life dedicated to the cause of Christ."
~Katie Mills, RCA Class of 2009
