Why do Families choose RCA?
Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a parent.
At Rangely Christian Academy, we partner with families to provide an affordable, Christ-centered education where students are known personally, challenged academically, and grounded in God's Word.
Since 2012, RCA has served families in Rangely and the surrounding communities through individualized, mastery-based learning that helps each student grow at their own pace. More than preparing students for the next grade, we seek to prepare them for a lifetime of wisdom, character, and faithful service to God.
We invite you to visit our campus and experience the difference of a school where every child is known, encouraged, and equipped to thrive.
FIVE purposes
Everything we do at Rangely Christian Academy is guided by five core commitments that shape how we teach, lead, and care for every student.
1
Rooted in
God's Word
Every lesson begins with
biblical truth. We believe the Bible is God's Word and the foundation for all of life. Students learn not only academic subjects but also
how to think biblically and live faithfully for Christ.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
2
Individualized
Learning
Every child is challenged
to succeed. Because every student learns differently, we use a mastery-based approach that allows each child to grow at a pace that fits their individual needs.
1 Corinthians 12:4-6
3
Partnering
with Parents
Education works best when families and teachers
work together. We believe parents are a child's first and most important teachers. By partnering with families, we create a consistent environment where students can thrive academically and spiritually.
Deuteronomy 6:7-9
4
Christian
Environment
Character is developed
every day. Students learn in a loving environment where biblical values, respect, integrity, and servant leadership are intentionally encouraged.
1 Corinthians 15:33
5
Preparing Students
for Life
Our goal reaches beyond graduation. We strive to equip students with the knowledge, wisdom, and character they need to faithfully serve God in their homes, churches, communities, and future careers.
Jeremiah 1:4-5
Our Team
Our team shares one common goal: to love students well, teach them faithfully, and point them to Christ every day.

learning designed for each student
We believe every child learns differently. That's why we use a mastery-based, individualized learning approach that allows students to progress at a pace that matches their abilities while receiving the guidance and encouragement they need to succeed. Instead of expecting every student to learn the same material at the same speed, we help each child build confidence through steady progress, personal responsibility, and academic excellence.
Mastery Based
Students demonstrate understanding before advancing to new material.
Individualized
Students receive instruction tailored to their unique strengths and needs
Enrichment
Strengthening foundational skills and providing hands-on opportunities to develop practical life skills
Character Development
Students learn responsibility, diligence, and self-discipline alongside academics.
Biblical Integration
Every subject is taught from a Christ-centered worldview.
Teacher Guidance
Teachers provide one-on-one instruction, encouragement, and accountability throughout the day.
Affordable Christian Education
We are committed to making Christ-centered education accessible for families in our community through transparent pricing and flexible payment options.
