ACADEMICS

Redding Adventist Academy, which has had seven senior classes, is proud that over 90% of these graduates have gone on to college. RAA places great emphasis on the scholastic development of its students and maintains firm standards for students participating in sports and other extra curricular activities.

The RAA curriculum for grades K-12 follows the standards set by the Education Department of the Northern California Conference of Seventh-day Adventists. The Adventist school system is the largest Protestant school system in the world with over 80% of its graduates continuing on to college.

RAA offers both college prepartory and general diplomas. Our Academy curriculum (grades 9-12) includes a comprehensive math program: pre-calculus, algebra I & II, geometry, and statistics; and a well-rounded science program: anatomy & physiology, biology, chemistry, physical science, and physics.
