Overview
Redland Christian Academy is a private, Christian school. We have been serving the Homestead community since 1977.
R.C.A. is a ministry of the Homestead Church of Christ and our School Board members are members of the Homestead Church of Christ.
R.C.A. is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. Our purpose is to provide area students with an excellent academic education and the teachings to allow them to develop a personal relationship with our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Redland Christian Academy is fully accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), National Christian School Association (NCSA), and Association of Independent Schools of Florida (AISF).
The efforts of our entire staff are directed toward providing the best educational environment and facility for your children.
Our goal is to provide every student the opportunity to achieve success academically and spiritually.
The curriculum we use at R.C.A. helps us to attain that goal.
The A Beka curriculum and Bob Jones University Press curriculum provide sound Biblical principles which uplift, encourage, and promote strong moral values.
It also places a strong emphasis on the academic basics, including phonics as a basis for reading.
We believe that a child who has a strong phonetic foundation will excel in all other subjects.
Colonial Christian School has been serving the children of the Homestead community since 1970.
Our school currently serves 350+ children in grades K3 to 12 and offers them a distinctly Christian education.
We begin our day with prayer and Bible study, and have a weekly chapel.
Our educational approach is truly comprehensive, as we address the spiritual, academic, physical, and social needs of our students.
Our goal is to partner with families to meet their children's educational needs at every stage of development.
A dedicated staff of 60+ adults serves our students.
Our parents are extremely involved in supporting the school.
