Philosophy of Education

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and absolute truth. Therefore, its teachings are intergrated into all subjects. Classes are taught from a Christian viewpoint. Refuge Temple Christian Academy (RTCA) is not a secular school in a Christian atomosphere.

Parents are given the responsibility for the education of their children by God (Deut 4:9, 6:7, Eph 6:4). Our school is a partner with the parents in this monumental task. RTCA by no means takes the place of home. We only assist.

Training at RTCA is compatible with the principles found in the Word of God. Our endeavor is to instill good habits and to prepare the student intellectually, socially, physically, and spiritually to live and work in the world. RTCA is a place for high quality Christian training, not a correctional institution.

The faculty and staff are professing Christians dependent upon the Holy Spirit to empower them in the ministry. Their lives should reflect that they are wholly dedicated to these principles, and diligently and sacrificially live and teach them to their students.


Children are influenced by the environment they are exposed. More than half of their awaken hours on a five day week are spent at school. Expose your child to a wholesome and healthy environment.

RTCA provides:

A good Christian Envoronment
One-on-One Instruction
Affordable Quality Education
No SOL Required
Character Building
Core Courses for graduation
Flesibility of completing more than one grade a year
College credits available during junior and senior years, if qualified
Trained to become leaders
A safe environment

Along with academics, the academy focuses on the following character traits:

1. Dependability
2. Responsibility
3. Accountability
4. Respectfulness
5. Forgiveness
6. Honesty
7. Trustworthiness

Mission Statement

The mission of RTCA is to promote esxellence socially, physically, mentally, and spiritually, religious studies, and facilitate both intellectual understanding and practical application of Christian values in the daily lives of our students.

Purpose of RTCA

RTCA is the weekday extension of the Refuge Temple Church educational ministry. The Pastor is the administrator who represents the church, and the principal is accountable to him. Supervisors, teachers, monitors, aides and other staff members, both paid and volunteers, compose a dedicated team that aids the home in training your children.

The members of Refuge Temple Church feel the responsibility of training our youth in Christian character, good citizenship, personal integrity, individual responsibility and development of abilities to be a mandate of the Lord:

"And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart; and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children..."(Deut 6:^-7a)

Under God we have undertaken this awesome task and look to Him for all the resources needed.

Under God we have undertaken this awesome task and look to hIm for all the resources needed.

Since we are a CHRISTIAN school, we have some very definite beliefs, convictions, and standards, which we attempt to live and teach. No school is better than its teachers; therefore, we seek the best qualified men and women spiritually and academically. All staff members are born again believers and active members of Refuge Temple Church and in some cases other local churches.
