History of Rocky Mountain Christian Academy
Welcome to the rich history of Rocky Mountain Christian Academy (RMCA), a school dedicated to providing a Christian education. Located in the unincorporated outskirts of Boulder County, in the charming community of Niwot, Colorado and just a few miles south of Longmont, RMCA stands for educational excellence, dedicated to shaping the minds and hearts of the next generation.
Early Beginnings (1996-1997)
In March of 1996, Rocky Mountain Christian Church (RMCC) opened its Early Education rooms, offering Mother’s Day Out and Preschool programs. The seeds of education were planted, and the foundation for RMCA’s future was laid.
Ministry Roots (1998-2012)
In 1998, Rocky Mountain Christian Academy (RMCA) emerged as an outreach ministry of RMCC Church. Operating in harmony with the church’s various ministries, RMCA was established with the mission to provide a Classical Christian education to the local community.
Independence and Growth (2013-2014)
RMCA took a significant step in 2013 by becoming an independent school. This move allowed the academy to chart its course and further develop its distinctive identity.
A Distinct School Offering a Living Education Through Ambleside (2014-Present)
In 2014, RMCA became an Ambleside International Member School and embraced the Charlotte Mason philosophy. This approach brought a heightened sense of truth and beauty to the educational experience across all grades and fostered a “living education” for the children. This “living education” encompasses a broad field of study in the humanities, arts, and sciences.
As RMCA continues to grow, we remain intentional about our priority to offer a Christ-centered, classically inspired education that focuses on the personhood of a child and the priority that learning is an “atmosphere, discipline, and a life.”
