What Curriculum Do You Use? We currently use “Abeka” as our main curriculum.

RCA also uses Guided Reading levels as a model to track students' progress in reading and offer a variety of electives such as Art, Physical Education, Chapel, Sign Language, Spanish, Music, Computers & Library.

How Does RCA Plan to Keep Students Safe During COVID-19? Rock Church Academy has a very stringent Student Health & Safety Plan to ensure that only students and staff who are well attend school (see RCA COVID-19 Plan). Although, we cannot guarantee that a student or staff member will never become ill, we can guarantee that we will follow the recommended health & safety guidelines to ensure the reduction of illness at our school.

Do Students Wear Uniforms? Students wear uniforms daily. Our Rock Church Academy Uniform consists of a light-blue top, bearing the Rock Church Academy Crest, and navy blue bottoms (modest shorts, pants, skirt, skort, or jumper). Uniforms are worn with black shoes that contain non-marking soles. Saddle shoes are acceptable as long as they have non-marking soles. Dress shoes and dress sneakers are acceptable (Adidas, Skechers, etc…). Our physical education uniform consists of navy blue athletic pants/shorts and a Rock Church Academy P.E. uniform shirt (provided by RCA).

Do Students Pack Their Own Lunch? Yes, students are welcome to bring a snack and lunch daily. We are a nut-free facility, so students should avoid bringing peanut butter or food products containing nuts. Our Pre-K students will receive a morning snack and milk daily. All other grades should bring their own snack from home. All students should bring a refillable water bottle daily.
