ABOUT RIDGE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY
Principal's Welcome,
At Ridge Christian Academy we proudly proclaim Jesus as we educate children to reach their God-given potential. Looking back over our beginning as a summer camp, I am humbled by the favor and blessings that have led us to this point. We believe that it takes parents, students, and staff working together to form that threefold chord that leads to success. Whether its academics, athletics or the arts, RCA students demonstrate strength of character as they shine for Jesus, and I am proud to have a small part in this amazing journey.
Sincerely,
Debbie Keaton
RCA Principal

In August 2002 the preschool opened with ages 2-5. God’s faithfulness has been apparent in providing personnel as well as property. During our first year we began our preschool with 13 children and ended the school year with 63 enrolled.
