Considering Riverbend Academy?
Thank you for your interest in Riverbend Academy. We are a Classical, Christ-Centered School with the mission of not just simply preparing students for college, but to cultivate wisdom, virtue and a lifelong love of learning under the lordship of Jesus Christ. It is our desire to partner with parents in forming students who love what is true, good and beautiful.
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions to make for your child. We believe the best educational experience happens when the school and the family share a common vision and goal, building a community marked by humility, respect, grace and biblical conflict resolution. Please consider the following questions prior to beginning the admissions process.
Do you desire an education that is unapologetically Christ-centered, where every subject is taught from a biblical worldview?
Every subject is taught through the truth of God's Word, helping students understand that Christ is central to all of life and learning.
Do you value the Classical Christian model of education, with its emphasis on cultivating wisdom, virtue, critical thinking and a love of learning?
Our classical approach equips students to think deeply, communicate clearly, pursue virtue, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
Are you prepared to encourage your child to meet high standards of academics, conduct, diligence, and respect for teachers and classmates?
We partner with parents to encourage students to pursue excellence, demonstrate integrity, and treat others with Christlike respect.
Are you prepared to support the school’s Christ-Centered Mission and Philosophy of Education along with our Statement of Faith?
We believe a strong partnership between home and school is essential. We ask families to support our mission, philosophy of education, and Statement of Faith.
Do you desire teachers who will challenge your child academically while also encouraging spiritual growth and Christlike character?
Our teachers are committed to nurturing both the mind and the heart, helping students grow in knowledge, wisdom, and Christlike character.
Are you looking for a community of families in pursuit of Christlike education rather than just an educational service that allows the use of scholarship funding?
We seek families who desire to actively partner in a Christ-centered educational community, embracing our mission and values as the foundation of their child’s education.
Next Steps:
After considering these questions and reading our Statement of Faith, Mission and Philosophy, and Classical Christian Education:
Complete the Expression of Interest Form.
This is the first step in the admissions process and gives us the opportunity to learn more about your family and your interest in Riverbend Academy.
Schedule a Tour.
Our admissions team will contact you to schedule a tour to view our campus, observe our culture and learn more about our approach to classical Christian education. Following the tour, you will be given information regarding the application process.
Schedule a Family Interview.
The family interview provides an opportunity to discuss your family’s educational and spiritual goals, answer questions and prayerfully discern whether our school and your family are well aligned in mission, philosophy, and expectations.
Schedule an Academic Assessment.
This is to determine your child’s current academic readiness for grade placement.
Once these steps have been completed, your family's application will be prayerfully and carefully reviewed. Completion of the admissions process does not guarantee enrollment. Following this review, the school will determine whether an offer of enrollment will be extended. Please allow several weeks for this process, as each application receives thoughtful consideration. We appreciate your patience and your interest in partnering with our school in the education and discipleship of your child.
