Welcome to the RMCA family,
Welcome to Ridge Manor Christian Academy, a ministry of Anchor of Our Souls Ministries and New Wave Church. RMCA is dedicated to the spiritual, mental, social, and physical development of children. We seek to provide an individualized approach to education in a Christ–centered environment. Our mission is to help each child cultivate a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ, to instruct children in godly and moral conduct that will help them become wise and mature adults, and to provide a solid foundation of knowledge in a Biblical worldview that will prepare students for the future.
The acceptance of school rules is an especially important part of student training. A student’s success depends upon his or her ability to function under the direction of school faculty and staff. We are eagerly looking forward to your support as we endeavor to encourage wholesome attitudes and desirable habits. When a child observes the home and school are working together, we see positive things happen in that child’s life.
The welfare and happiness of your child is our deepest concern. We extend a personal invitation to you to visit or call our office at any time.
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
Countdown to Christmas Break
Our Mission
The mission of Ridge Manor Christian Academy is to work harmony with the home and the church to “train up a child in the way he should go” (Proverbs 22:6). To that end, Ridge Manor
Christian Academy strives to provide a nurturing, educational environment that is spiritually,
intellectually, and socially Christ-centered.
First, the school is to be spiritually Christ-centered. Our mission is to help each child cultivate a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ. We hold the Bible to be God’s Word and believe that the scriptures provide guidance and instruction in the righteousness (Psalm 119:9). Daily Bible instruction and regular Scripture memorization are integral parts of the student’s spiritual development.
Second, the school is to be intellectually Christ-centered. Ridge Manor Christian Academy recognizes that each student is a unique individual, created by God with specific talents and gifts. The school endeavors to provide a strong foundation of knowledge that will prepare students for the future. Students are trained to think and express themselves carefully and critically so that they may “earnestly contend for the faith” (Jude 1:3).
Third, the school is to be socially Christ-centered. We seek to instruct children in godly and moral conduct that will help them become wise and mature adults. This instruction is accomplished through an attitude that all things are to be done to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31). The Christian school setting provides opportunities for students to grow socially and physically through educational trips, community projects, activities, and physical fitness programs.
