Overview

River’s Edge Christian Academy (RECA) operates under a “university structure” that combines on-campus classroom instruction with parent-led satellite learning. Students attend three days per week at school and complete two days of guided learning at home, fostering strong family engagement and student independence.

The academy is deeply rooted in a biblical worldview: faith is woven into every subject, helping students understand what they learn through the lens of Scripture. With smaller class sizes, RECA emphasizes personal attention, mentorship, and character formation. Graduates are prepared for college and life with a foundation of service, leadership, and academic rigor.

What Makes the School Unique

• Biblical Worldview Integration: Every academic subject is taught using a Christian framework, promoting spiritual as well as intellectual growth.

• Small Teacher–Student Ratios: Personalized attention supports meaningful relationships and individual growth throughout the K–12 experience.

• Strong Community Partnership: Parents, teachers, and students actively collaborate in shaping the learning environment and fostering character.

• Flexible Accreditation & Home Education Option: Provides a home-education program option (umbrella services) for families who want to blend structured schooling with home-based learning.
