Ridgewood Baptist Academy

God is objective, ultimate truth. True wisdom, meaning, knowledge, values, and understanding are in accordance with God's Word. Therefore, true education has God and His Word as the foundation. All subject matter is to be taught in conformity with His Word and all principles through God's Word.

Children are a gift from God; and God, having established the home, has charged parents with the responsibility for the education of their children. Some parents have voluntarily delegated some aspects of the process of the education of their children to Ridgewood Baptist Academy. We desire to have close communication between school and home. Parental involvement in their child's education is a big key to the success of young people's academic progress and of the success of the school itself.

RBA focuses on two distinct philosophical ideas. The elementary school is focused on evangelism in its admission policies and in its teachings. We want to see each young person make a profession of faith in Christ at an early age. The junior high and high school is focused on discipleship. After receiving the Lord as personal Savior, RBA wants to see each young Christian grow and mature spiritually.

Attendance at RBA is a privilege, not a right. Not everyone has the opportunity to attend an institution that emphasizes quality education, good morals, and a Christian environment.

Ridgewood is an institution that attempts to push our students to excellence in all areas. This includes a stringent academic program that is demanding and disciplined. Parents must realize this and desire this for their child. Students that wish to do well, must commit to studying hard, completing homework on time, and listening intently in the classroom.

We desire to have a school where good Christian young people are the norm and where doing what is right is accepted and respected. We want all our students to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and learn biblical principles to apply to their lives.

RBA has instituted a strong discipline system. Our teachers demand obedience, respect, responsibility, and hard work from every student.

Ridgewood is a place for families who desire a school with a challenging academic program, uplifiting spiritual program, and a character-building discipline program.
