Rochester Classical Academy
Rochester Classical Academy is the only school in Rochester that offers a classical Christian education. Its mission is to cultivate in students a godly character and a joyful spirit of inquiry into God and His creation, so that they can engage the world for Christ with wisdom, virtue, and eloquence. Using an instruction model and curriculum derived from 2000 years of the richest and best in education, Rochester Classical Academy will be a place where the best things that have been created, calculated, and discovered are studied. At Rochester Classical Academy, students flourish across disciplines, where the painter is also a scientist, where the star forward also has a passion for poetry, where the math wiz loves to sing in choir. If you step into an RCA classroom, you will find a low-tech, hands-on, ideas-rich environment where teachers fan the flame of curiosity that is innate in every child. You might encounter students singing hymns, forming cursive letters, sketching the parts of a flower, listening to an engrossing story from their teacher, practicing their public speaking skills, building an ancient temple, or dissecting an owl pellet, all under the care of committed Christian teachers who love to learn right alongside their students!
