Spirituality



How much is your child’s eternal destiny worth?

Think of your child’s education at Richmond Academy as an investment in their eternal, as well as their earthly future.

There are a number of reasons why such an investment is so wise. Richmond Academy provides a spiritual advantage for youth in three key areas of school life: Academic, Social, and Individual.

Academic – Bible Instruction

Bible classes give students the academic Biblical knowledge needed for a firm foundation in their faith. Here they are encouraged to ask questions and seek the answers in God’s Word. The lessons learned in the classroom provide students with the tools needed to continually study and grow in their understanding of Biblical principles and prophecy.

Social – Religious Experience

Daily classroom worship and weekly school chapels provide a sense of being an important part of a community of faith. These times of worship inspire and encourage students in their walk with Christ. Community service opportunities emphasize giving back, and prepare youth for their life-long mission of taking the good news of the gospel message to those around them.

Individual – Christian Values

Faith and values are interwoven with all disciplines taught and pervade the entire atmosphere of the school. A biannual Week of Spiritual Emphasis puts a special focus on living one’s faith. This sense of living our faith in a practical, everyday way, prepares students to take their Bible knowledge out of the classroom and make it a part of who they are.

We must keep in mind that no one facet of a child’s life can alone make the determination for his or her future. It truly takes a village to raise a child. Parents, extended family, school, church and friends, all have a part to play in the decision our youth will make about their final destiny. You can encourage your child to make the right decision by giving them the spiritual advantage of a Seventh-day Adventist Christian education at Richmond Academy.

Taught by Example

“The thing I value most about my education is the Christian atmosphere it provided. My teachers taught by example, not just by textbook. I have no doubt that learning in that environment helped me to grow mentally as well as spiritually. Today I’m a multimedia developer with Hilton Grand Vacations Company in Orlando, FL.”Andy Shaw (‘96)
