Student Life
Our passion for Jesus supersedes all else.
RCA is built on 3 Pillars
Spiritualization
Spiritualization is the very heart of Revelation Christian Academy. Our student life is built on the strong foundation of Jesus.
Characterization
At RCA we strive to model and teach the character of Christ. Our goal is to maintain His Spirit of Excellence in all we do.
Education
Our children are taught according to their ability and as a ‘preparatory school’ challenged to reach a higher level.
Spiritualization
Spiritualization is the very heart of Revelation Christian Academy. Our student life is built on the strong foundation of Jesus. Students spend their days immersed in God’s Word, from their academics, to recess, to electives as well as beyond the classroom. Jesus is the center of all that we do at Revelation Christian Academy. Our students are given many opportunities to grow and be empowered in their spiritual gifts. Our staff is passionate about developing the mind and character of students so they can Shine the Light of Jesus everywhere they go.
7 Nights/3 Days of Worship
& Monthly Outreaches
At RCA we are firm believers that the gospel will transform how we see and serve others. A part of our student life includes attending Revelation Church's 7 Nights Worship three times a year. Additionally, Pastor Joe brings a very impactful 3 days of worship, Word, and the power of the Holy Spirit to our students at RCA. From this, the students get empowered to then go out and attend our Outreaches along with Revelation Church members. This burning desire they receive from the 7 Nights/3 Days to Spread Jesus expands passionately throughout the children. They are confident in speaking the Truth and they minister this Truth. These Outreaches include loving on the lost and showing them the True Mercy and Grace of Jesus. This gives our students the opportunity to go and be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Characterization
Godly Character is clearly defined when we look at the life of Jesus. At RCA we strive to model and teach the character of Christ. We offer weekly etiquette classes that further equip them to be successful leaders, not only in the classroom. These aspects are the building blocks of hardworking, diligent, and dependable children that will someday tackle adult tasks in their workforce. A new generation will be made of Warriors for God, who not only minister in their actions, but in their character, as well. Our goal is to maintain His Spirit of Excellence in all we do.
Stallions Celebrate Character
At RCA we are building leaders and champions through our Stallions Celebrate Character. We are teaching students the proper behavior they will need later in life. When we see our Stallions implementing these character traits they earn a “Stallion Stash.” Another way students can earn “Stallion Stash” is through “Shine Cards” in our Etiquette class. Parents can write what their child has done outside the classroom that goes above and beyond. Once they earn the predetermined amount they trade that stash in for a bracelet. Each semester the students who earn 5 bracelets get to be a part of a special reward from Pastor Joe. Past rewards include a day trip to a farm filled with animals, activities, and a BBQ, an adventure to Legoland, a full day, private event at Urban Air Adventure Park, ice skating, and roller skating!
We also use Stallion Stash as a way to build strong tithers. We have students count out their stash and figure out how much they need to give to honor God. All students tithe before receiving their bracelets.
It’s been a blessing watching our students grow in their character, and encourage one another. RCA Stallion Character really needs to be experienced in person. We welcome you to schedule a visit and come see our Stallions for yourself!

Education
Education is the last of the three pillars, however that doesn’t minimize its importance. When Jesus is the priority, everything else follows. We believe in incorporating scripture into every subject we teach. Our children are taught according to their ability and as a ‘preparatory school’ challenged to reach a higher level. Our goal is to harvest the gifts and God-given callings each child possesses and allow them to grow, while clinging to the consistency and structure of the Word.
Class sizes are kept limited so each student receives individual instruction. This allows the school to function like a family. There is a loving bond between the students and the teachers that is built on trust and respect.
Academics at Revelation Christian Academy are designed to build not only the students’ intellect, but their character and prepare them for the plan God has for their life. Following evaluation and assessment, students are assigned to the level that will best harvest their success, while being challenged. This unique approach is very effective with the classes. An example of this rare method is shown with one of our 5th graders being in level 6 math, while another 5th grader is in level 5. We do not want to hold any student back, or cause the student stress. This approach is proven to show positive learning experiences and above all instill a joy in learning that is unmatched. When a student is progressing and displaying a feeling of success, we challenge them. Success is an empowering feeling that makes the students desire to learn more. Additionally, we do not believe in assigning homework. We encourage families to use that time enjoying each other, recharging and refreshing. We strive to install a positive work/life balance in all our students.
We offer a biblical approach to:
Health
Nutrition
Culinary Classes
Creative Arts
Sports Performance
Dance
At RCA we are teaching our students to lead others as they follow Jesus Christ. Together we are raising up champions and future leaders!
We get moving!
Moving is a crucial part in any child’s daily life. We bring special attention to this by incorporating fun and beneficial breaks. We begin each day with “midline exercises”. This includes crossing our arms and legs over the center axis of our bodies. This stimulates and allows both sides of the brain to connect. We also integrate “brain breaks” throughout the day that allows the children to move around and still continue to be active.
Did you know?
The activity of crossing the midline encourages communication between the two hemispheres of the brain. This is extremely important for development and learning. Midline exercises help to make motor movements more efficient as well as help with the development of hand dominance and bilateral coordination.
Both the left and right hemispheres of the brain are designed to carry out specific tasks. Crossing the midline forces both sides of the brain to work together, this helps develop higher order thinking skills, sensory integration, body awareness, and critical thinking skills.
