School Notes
ONE COMMON VISION-OUR VISION
Riverside Christian Academy's strategic planning process is a
season of transition, vision, and planning for the future of
Riverside Christian Academy.
RCA is well-positioned to make specific goals and build the
plan of strategies and tactics to move toward a unified vision.
That unified vision begins with the end in mind. Our product as a
school is the graduates we send into the world, who we hope will
glorify God with their gifts, talents, and abilities and contribute
to human flourishing in a culture that seems to get darker by the
day. But we realize that hope is not a strategy. We believe that
God has given us minds to think and strategize, gifts and abilities
to bring order to the world, and most importantly prayer to seek
His will in all that we do.
Solomon, in all his God-given wisdom, wrote in the book of
Proverbs, "Commit your activities to the Lord, and your plans will
be established (16:3)," and "A person's heart plans his way, but
the Lord determines his steps (16:9)." So, as RCA moves forward, we
pray and seek the Lord's vision, and we plan and work for His
glory.
With all of this in mind, our faculty and staff started the
school year by creating a common, unified vision for our graduates,
our "Portrait of a Graduate." This exercise was the first step in
our RISE Project. RISE is an acronym meaning "road map for
innovation, strategy, and engagement." This project will take place
over the course of the school year.
The 5 Characteristics of an RCA Graduate:
1.Christ-Like- RCA graduates will love God and love
others. They will exemplify the fruit of the spirit-- love, joy,
peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
self-control.
2.Academically Prepared Lifelong Learners- RCA
graduates will not only know the facts and information needed to be
prepared for college, the workforce, and beyond, but will also have
a love to continue learning and growing for life. They will have
the wisdom to discern truth from lies and to think, feel, and
choose based on truth.
3.A Spirit of Excellence & Accountability- RCA
graduates will operate in a spirit of excellence by going the extra
mile, focusing on quality of work and relationships, and doing
everything in word and deed in the name of Jesus while giving
thanks to God the Father (Col. 3:17). RCA graduates will value
constructive criticism and accountability; they will be teachable
and coachable in all aspects of life, not just in the classroom or
on the athletic field.
4.Foundation to Live by Faith- RCA graduates will
know what they believe and why they believe it, and will possess
the courage to live by faith in Christ in a world that no longer
believes in absolute truth.
5.Effective Communicators- RCA graduates will have
the social and emotional learning skills to communicate effectively
through written and spoken word in public and interpersonal
settings. They will be able to take in information, form logical
conclusions, and articulate themselves in a way that is clear and
understandable.
We covet your prayers as we embark on this strategic planning
process this school year and as we continue to grow and make a
difference...for life!
