Our mission is to partner with parents in equipping students to embrace biblical truth, achieve their god given potential, and engage the culture for the cause of Christ.
A Christian school should be much more than a safe alternative to public school with a required Bible class and once-a-week chapel services.
Although possessing these characteristics, Russell Christian Academy exists for a much higher purpose.
Our school teaches absolute truth from a Biblical worldview across multiple curricular disciplines.
A school of almost four-hundred students, Russell Christian Academy believes parents are Biblically responsible for the education of their children and therefore are vital to the educational process.
