Vision Statement and Core Values

Vision Statement: Changing Expectations to Change Achievement.

We see quality education as the best path for our children to grow and mature into responsible adults with heart, soul, judgment, and wisdom. Each member of our educational family fosters respect, support, and encouragement. We promote increased parent involvement and participation. As a result, we anticipate that parents will join with staff and students to share in the responsibility of their child's education, which will ensure that students meet or exceed New York State performance standards. As each member of our educational community sets high expectations for our students, we must also build each child's confidence and self-esteem, support individualized thinking, encourage critical thinking, and foster a love of learning. We believe children learn best with this broad base of support and accountability. With the parents and community involvement, RCA will mold successful leaders for our global society as we strive to empower students, parents, and staff to reach their potential and become active participants in the life-long learning process.

Core Values: To meet the educational needs of our families, RCA has a robust set of core values governing all areas of the school. Supported by instructional staff members and parents, our students will be competitive with other educational institutions and meet or exceed NYS educational standards. Our Core Values are:

Respect for OneSelf and Community - Cultivating A Love of Learning - Achieving Academic Excellence
