As parents we are concerned about our children's education, social interactions, surrounding influences, and emotional wellbeing. Thankfully Rio Lindo Adventist Academy shares our concerns and employs highly trained, motivated educators to address those issues that young people are subjected to. Thank You Rio Lindo for creating a safe environment where my daughter can grow and become a productive member of Gods Kingdom and in the society which we live.

I had the best time of my life all 3 years I attended. I made friends that have lasted my whole life. The education I received led me to a successful college experience. I credit my education, work and to a good life to that early education and dorm live experience to Rio Lindo.

I have had one daughter graduate and the second is currently enrolled. Rio is an outstanding school. Not only do they focus on academics but on personal development. They turn out well rounded students preppared well for college. The teachers have always been open to hearing from me and working with any issues that may arise.
