The mission of Rochester Classical Academy is to cultivate in students a godly character and a joyful spirit of inquiry into God and His creation, so that they may engage the world for Christ with wisdom, virtue, and eloquence. RCA opened in fall of 2019 and will grow by one grade each year. For Fall 2024, we will have PreK through 6th grade. It will be a place that integrates academic rigor and intentional Christian discipleship, with each enhancing and not compromising the other. Using an instruction model and curriculum derived from 2000 years of the richest and best in education, RCA will be a place where the best things that have been created, calculated, and discovered are studied. Rochester Classical Academy admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It doesn't discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Contained Within Our Mission Statement Are Four Key Goals:

…Cultivate a joyful spirit of inquiry…

We believe that children are given the gift of curiosity and joy by their Creator and that too often this desire to unravel the thread of an idea is lost during the school years.

We cannot teach them everything they will need to know for life, but we can encourage their joyful spirits and give them the tools to take on any body of knowledge they encounter both in school and out. By graduating as lifelong learners, our students will be able to pursue any path they take and adapt to an ever-changing world.

… Into God and His creation…

We believe that God is true, good, and beautiful, and that we encounter truth, goodness, and beauty when we study Him and His creation.

When students do their own creative work, our goal is that they be able to do so with these elements of truth, goodness, and beauty in their hearts and minds. We believe these attributes can also be encountered in the works of non-Christians so long as they are appreciated through the lens of a biblical worldview.

…With wisdom, virtue, and eloquence…

We seek to send our students out into the world with the ability to discern truth from falsehood in the information they encounter because knowledge divorced from truth is a recipe for disaster.

We desire our students to have the tools and the enthusiasm to engage others with winsome and compelling communication. Curriculum rooted in the liberal arts and the sciences tradition will equip them to interact with others intelligently, displaying the dignity and wisdom bestowed upon them by God.

…They can engage the world for Christ with godly character.

Educating children at RCA is a way for us to love the Lord and others by raising up students whose lives point back to Christ and who seek to infuse our culture with justice, mercy, humility, and decency. We believe our mission will affect not only our students, but also our teachers, our administrators, our parents, and our community of partners.
