Redemption Christian Academy

I started at RCA when I was 9 years old. Although being young and starting a new school can be scary I believe it was the best decision my mom could’ve made for me. The teachers helped strengthen my weaknesses I had academically and they were patient with me. I graduated in 2008 and was unsure about college but knew I wanted to be a teacher. RCA allowed me to be a teacher’s aide and get the experience under my belt. In my years of working there I acquired so many other skills that I apply daily in my life today. I love RCA because it truly is not just a school but they prepare me for real life. Without the structure they gave me I don’t know where I would be today.

Thank you Redemption family!!!

I work with people that care and respect your privacy and I never let you down .Dear love is unconditional you don't has to pay for people like you.

A home away from home. I was 11, small, but big trouble. I was having major disciplinary problems in my former Manhattan public schools. I was blacklisted from further attending another New York public school. My mother searched as hard as any, to find an affordable boarding school option.
After many prayers and tears she came across Redemption Christian Academy. With scholarship options and work study, i was packed up and sent to Troy New york.
I was anxious, nervous, downright terrified. Not for long, however. The staff quickly opened their arms and hearts to me. I was given many opportunities and advantages while attending RCA. There was very structured education and religion.
I was able to travel, meet many note worthy people, i was introduced to many culural experience, arts, languages, political figures, educational tools thought only reserved for royalty(even met some of those). There was much cultural exchange, thanks to the many students that were adopted and sponsored by the staff and church family to attend the school.
I attended RCA until my graduation in 2000. The years i spent there mean more to me than words can express. I was raised like each member of the staff and church family were my own parents. I graduated valedictorian and was accepted to many top schools, with full or partial scholarships, but what i took away was worth more than my accolades and diploma. I left knowing that no matter where i travled next in life i still had a home back in Troy New York. A family.
Thank you,

I can only comment on their baked-goods fundraiser. Every year I look forward to the men who camp out in front of WalMart in Bristol, Ct. selling the Goodway Bakery treats. I feel so much closer to Heaven with each tasty bite of the best sweets on the Planet. The Bean Pie~~~~~~~~~~makes me giggle!
