I've been attending this school since 2009 and I'm grateful that I get to experience this school that serves good quality Christian education. Richmond Academy has a rich heritage based on helping students learn and live for Christ. What I love about this school is that it has a wide range of diversity. Another reason is that they offer great music program and that we advertise our school by traveling different places and perform.
