STUDENT LIFE

At River’s Edge Christian Academy, students grow in faith through chapel, daily devotions, and small groups. Our Christ-centered curriculum and biblical worldview help students build character, think critically, and learn to serve others—preparing them to thrive academically, socially, and spiritually.

Arts

Creativity is a gift from God and an important part of developing the whole student. Through elective art courses, students have opportunities to grow their artistic skills, explore creative expression, and develop confidence in their talents.

Each year, our Fine Arts Night highlights the incredible creativity within our school community, showcasing student work in drawing, painting, graphic design, photography, and more. The evening also features performances from talented students through singing, dancing, and instrumental performances, creating a celebration of the gifts and creativity God has given our students.

Athletics

We believe that athletics are a powerful tool for discipleship. Through intentional coaching and healthy competition, students develop discipline, teamwork, and Christ-centered character. In partnership with families, we aim to shape athletes who honor God, respect others, and pursue excellence in every area of life.

StuCo and NHS

At River’s Edge Christian Academy, students are encouraged to lead, serve, and pursue excellence both inside and outside the classroom. Through Student Council, students have opportunities to develop leadership skills, serve their peers, engage in business and help strengthen school community and culture.

Our National Honor Society recognizes students who demonstrate excellence in scholarship, leadership, service, and character. NHS members are challenged to use their gifts to serve others while modeling integrity, responsibility, and Christlike leadership both on and off campus.

Electives and Extracurriculars

Students have the chance to explore their interests and passions with up to two electives each day. These classes let students discover new talents, grow their skills, and enjoy learning in a supportive, Christ-centered environment. Our electives change each year, so for the most current listing, please reach out to info@riversedgeca.com.

Students are also encouraged to engage in leadership and service through the National Honor Society, Student Council, or by starting new clubs that reflect their unique interests. At RECA, every student has the opportunity to get involved, contribute to our community, and pursue their God-given gifts.
