Welcome to Redding Collegiate Academy.

At RCA, we understand that students do not all learn in the same way, at the same pace, or on the same path. That is why we provide a flexible, personalized, and academically rigorous independent study program for students in transitional kindergarten through grade 12.

Our approach begins with knowing each student well. Credentialed teachers work closely with students and families to develop a Personalized Learning Plan based on the student’s academic readiness, learning pace, interests, strengths, and future goals. Progress is monitored carefully, and instruction is adjusted as students grow, master new skills, or need additional support.

Although much of the learning takes place at home, RCA is more than a home-based program. Students may participate in onsite classes, academic workshops, tutoring, clubs, enrichment activities, and college and career learning opportunities. These experiences help students strengthen their academic skills, build confidence, form meaningful connections, and become more independent learners.

Family partnership is central to our work. We value regular communication, shared responsibility, and the important role parents and caregivers play in supporting learning. For our younger students, teachers work closely with families to build strong foundations in literacy, mathematics, and learning habits. As students grow, we help them take greater ownership of their goals, choices, and progress.

We also recognize that students sometimes arrive at RCA needing a fresh start, a different pace, additional support, or a learning environment that feels safer and more manageable. Our staff responds with care, clear expectations, targeted instruction, and consistent encouragement. We want every student to feel known, supported, challenged, and capable of meaningful growth.

I am proud of the community we have built at RCA. Our school combines flexibility with accountability, independence with connection, and high expectations with genuine care. We are committed to helping students achieve academically, develop confidence, and prepare for college, career, and life beyond school.

I invite you to contact the Redding Collegiate Academy office at (530) 224-4240 to learn more about our program and the personalized learning options available for your child.

Sincerely,

Chuck Seligman
Principal
