WELCOME to the New Red Lion Christian Academy. You have chosen to be here during one of the most exciting times in the history of this great school. I have been charged with the awesome task of leading this great school as we develop the next generation of young leaders. Our children are the heritage of the Lord and our goal is to teach them to think Biblically and to act out their faith with a world-view that honors Christ.   We truly believe this school is on the cutting edge of becoming one of the finest institutions of learning in the entire region. We already have a leadership team, faculty and support staff dedicated to serving nearly 1000 children and young adults as they build lasting memories that will stay with them for the rest of their lives.  We are committed to serving you with excellence and giving God our very best as we join with you in the education of your child. Believe me when I say that you will have made a great choice if you decide to become part of this student body.
