Rocky Mountain Christian Academy Photo #1 - Nations Day | For the entire month of October, students in grades K-5 study a particular nation in each classroom, including overviews of that country's history, language, culture, art, music, and much more. This study includes many hands-on activities and special art projects designed to teach students the "tools" for learning about and appreciating other cultures.

Rocky Mountain Christian Academy Photo #9 - The middle school program continues to build on the well-rounded classical and Christian foundation laid in the elementary years.
