Redwood Adventist Academy is a K-8 school guided by four core values: responsibility, perseverance, integrity, and respect, all rooted in the love of Christ. They’re deeply rooted in caring for the earth. Redwood’s campus on Mark West Springs Road has a working organic garden, called the What’s Up Farm, that sells produce to local restaurants, and gives all students the chance to spend at least 45 minutes per week learning outdoors. Their Forest Kindergarten program is even more involved, with the school’s youngest students spending two hours a day outside, rain or shine, learning while engaging with the natural world.
Parents and students alike say the intimate classes and faith-based instruction make Redwood Adventist feel like a family. Their outdoorsy approach is balanced with engaging projects and classwork that builds tech skills, and there are opportunities for fun and socialization like the Lego and video clubs. GreatSchools rates it 4.8 out of 5, with particular praise for the school’s garden, their vegetarian meals, and the unity among students that stops bullying before it can start. Committed to mentoring students, Redwood Adventist Academy is a place for them to grow from the ground up.

I have two children currently attending RAA, a Kindergartner and a Second Grader. My Daughter had an amazing kindergarten teacher who was kind, patient and brought out the best in the children. The class sizes are small and the children have a kindness and empathy with one another. Each day there is a fresh vegetarian meal that the kids can opt for that is both healthy and hearty. There is an on campus farm that grows organic veggies to sell and for school lunches.

Teachers will give students detentions depending on situations. Bullying isn't really a problem. The dress code used to be that they couldn't wear jewelry, but now can. Jewelry cannot be excessive. Clothing has to be modest.

After graduating from Redwood it showed me a different perspective on how life outside the school is and how different public/private christian colleges are.
