Redeemer Preparatory Academy
Our Academics
Redeemer Prep provides a rigorous academic curriculum rooted in God's word. Small class sizes (maximum of 10 students) enable our educators to address each child's academic need whether that be providing an extra challenge or extra support. School is Monday-Friday beginning at 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Working with classmates, often across grade levels, students engage in coursework that is fun, challenging and encourages them to love to learn.
Grading Scale
We believe when high standards are set, students rise to meet them. Therefore, RPA operates under a seven point scale grading system, as opposed to the public education system's ten point scale. Meaning, in a public school a score of 90% would equate to earning an A, while at RPA an A is earned at 93%. We strive for excellence in everything we do and pride ourselves in equipping students to reach their full academic potential.
