Our mission

“We partner with families to provide a Christ-centered academic and educational environment that cultivates academic excellence, spiritual growth, and strong character in students.”

Family partnership

ROC and home move forward together.

ROC's approach gives parents an active place in their child's education. Guided instruction happens in person, and families keep the learning going at home with lesson-planning and record-keeping support.

The goal is practical as well as personal: give families an environment, resources, and support for learning while students build relationships through regular shared experiences.

Educational approach

Whole-person growth, held in partnership

These four ideas come directly from ROC Academy's mission and family-learning approach.

Academic excellence

Guided academic instruction and continued learning at home work as one connected education.

Spiritual growth

ROC's purpose places knowledge of God's Word and growth in Christ alongside academics.

Strong character

The Academy's mission names strong character as a priority.

Equipped families

Families receive lesson-planning and record-keeping support as they continue learning at home.

Faith foundation

Learning rooted in God's Word

This summarizes ROC Academy's current faith-oriented goals; it is not a formal statement of faith.

Know God's Word

ROC's purpose pairs academic excellence with gaining knowledge of the Word of God.

Grow in Christ

ROC Academy describes helping students discover who they are in Christ and grow toward spiritual maturity.

Live the gospel

ROC's goals describe a generation filled with the Holy Spirit and prepared to further the gospel boldly.
