Redding Adventist Academy, which has had eleven senior classes, is proud that over 90% of these graduates have gone on to college or university. 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 or university.

The bells choir performs by invitation at Disneyland, and choir students have sung at Carnegie Hall. Music students also participate in an annual spring musical. They have performed “My Fair Lady”, “Fiddler on the Roof”, “The Music Man”, and others in recent years. Art is focused on an introduction to graphic design.
