Admissions
​General Admission Process
It is exciting to see God’s leading and direction in the development of our school. RCA exists as a supplement to the parents’ own teaching, enabling the parents to be more effective in their time with their children. Please read over the RCA application carefully and fill it out completely. We are praying that God will send families to Rhea County Academy who desire a thoroughly Christ-centered education for their children. Rhea County Academy is not associated with a specific church or denomination. No one will be denied admission based on gender, race, color, or national origin.
​
Families seeking to enroll students for the upcoming school year should follow the procedure outlined below.
​
-
Parent(s) should complete the Online Enrollment Form, the Authorization for Release of Educational Records (if their student will be transferring from another school), sign the Parental Statement, and distribute the recommendation forms to a spiritual and a personal reference.
-
Students in grades 5-H.S. should review and sign the Student Conduct Agreement.
-
Parents must provide a copy of their student’s Immunization History before the student begins attending.
-
Parent(s) should photocopy for inclusion in the registration packet the following materials:
-
Student’s birth certificate

Student’s most recent end-of-grade test results or achievement test grades

A non-refundable application fee of $50 must accompany the applications of all new students. The registration fee is due from all new and re-enrolling applicants.

Recommendation forms should be returned directly to RCA by the evaluator as directed on the recommendation forms.
-
RCA staff will contact the family to schedule an interview and academic screening.

During the interview and screening, at least one parent or guardian and the student must attend. It is our opportunity to get to know one another and to determine if RCA is going to be the correct school for the child.

RCA will notify the family of the student’s admittance status upon completion of the process.
