Thank you for your interest in Rhea County Academy (RCA).

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 on the basis of gender, race, color or national origin.

  • RCA brings to my mind thoughts of grace, love and family. My family has been blessed to meet and know other families that attended before our kids enrolled. By His grace, we learned of the school and the wonderful environment it was. The love that is poured out for the kids, and by the kids, is amazing. Being a part of RCA is truly like being a part of a family. I feel that my child is treated not just as a student, but a part of a family, part of the Body of Christ. Knowing the love, care and instruction that he receives is a true blessing. — RCA Parent Read more
