River's Edge Christian Academy graduates will, by God's grace, be:

Trustworthy Workers
- Our graduates will work diligently for the Lord, for the gospel (the laborers are few), for their families, and for others, in their homes, at their church, and through their employment (Matthew 9:37; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2, 15:58; Colossians 3:22-24; 1 Peter 4:10-11).
Eternally Minded
- Our graduates will have an eternal perspective, thinking beyond their earthly, temporal, and physical condition to setting their minds on the things above: the heavenly, spiritual, and eternal realities and the glories of Christ (Ephesians 3:20-21; Colossians 3:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:14-15; James 4:13-14).

Ambitious to Please God
- Our graduates will have a courageous and ambitious pursuit to please the Lord knowing that they will stand before Him (2 Corinthians 5:6-10).
Conscientious of Character
- Our graduates will speak and act in wisdom and with moral excellence, being thoughtful, disciplined, self-controlled, respectful, kind, and loving to all (Colossians 4:5-6; 1 Timothy 4:7, 12; 2 Peter 1:5-11).
Honoring Instruction
- Our graduates will have a high regard and esteem for teaching, learning, wisdom, understanding, and discernment, which begins with the fear of the Lord, and therefore will have a high regard to God's written Word (Proverbs 1:7-8; 4:13, 9:9-10; 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Equipped to Serve
- Our graduates will follow Christ's example of service with all humility, serving others selflessly, the world winsomely, the church consistently, and the Lord wholeheartedly (Mark 10:45; Philippians 2:3-8; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21; Hebrews 10:24-25; 1 Samuel 12:24).
Skilled Thinkers
- Our graduates will be self-governed, critical thinkers who are purposeful in living for Christ, intential in self-education, able organizers, apt to solve problems, capable peacemakers, and who will challenge the world's culture (Daniel 1:8-16; 1 Kings 3:16-28; Acts 17:16-24; Romans 12:2).

Partnering Together for Your Child's Growth
