[New Perspective] Elder John
Massey, Jr. founded the Redemption Christian
Academy and Post- Graduate School in 1979 in hopes
of providing quality education in a positive
environment, amidst escalating crime, drugs, and rising
illiteracy. His goal was to develop a variety of
interesting and exciting extra-curricular activities,
geared to instill “responsibility in our future
leaders.” His efforts have since blossomed from a day
school to a co-ed “day and boarding school with a
reputation for maintaining high academic and moral
standards.”
A variety of boarding arrangements are available,
ranging from: in-home boarding with trained staff
members or small residence halls, to traditional
dormitories, depending on the particular need and
maturity of an individual student. Participating in
boarding school life at the Redemption Academy helps the
students to prepare for life at a college or university
and develops strong leadership and responsibility.
“Loving, caring resident counselors, who are trained and
experienced in all aspects of boarding school life make
students feel as though they are part of a family and
are available 24 hours a day to assist with academic,
personal or spiritual matters.”
The Post-Graduate program at Redemption Academy works to
challenge the student-athlete’s desire and commitment to
academic and athletic excellence while preparing the
student to advance to a college level. Qualifying
students are eligible to participate in their
introductory college credit program. All post-graduate
students must be willing participants in the Community
Action Network Program (CAN) in an effort to make some
meaningful contribution to the immediate community. The
Academy also has a job-training program in which
students receive “hands-on” experience with marketable
skills in an actual job situation.
Redemption Christian Academy uses “special incentives”
and a highly disciplined safe learning environment to
enhance academic, personal, spiritual, and social
growth. Financial assistance and athletic scholarships
are available for qualified students, with applications
accepted on a first-come basis. |
