When our students read Homer, Augustine, or Shakespeare, they join a conversation that has gone on for thousands of years about courage, justice, love, and what it means to be human.

Along the way, they learn to read closely, think carefully, and write with conviction (and yes, they sometimes argue about Odysseus at lunch). These books give them more than facts. They help them grow in wisdom.

Here’s to the great books and the great minds they help shape!

A milestone night for TRA: on October 6th, we chartered the inaugural Headwaters Chapter of the National Honor Society! 🎓

NHS membership is about more than grades. It honors a daily commitment to scholarship, leadership, service, and Christ-like character. Our ten founding juniors and seniors stood before our community and pledged to pursue wisdom with joy, keep their integrity untarnished, and use their God-given gifts to love and serve others (no small promise, and we believe they’re up for it). We’re so proud of how they reflect our mission to form sharp minds and devoted hearts, and we can’t wait to see the foundation they lay for the students who come after them.

Congratulations, Headwaters Chapter!

Our teachers have been sending us clips, and we can’t stop watching.

These aren’t staged.

They’re Tuesday mornings and Thursday afternoons, curious kids, and teachers who love what they do.

Thank you, teachers, for letting us see the sparks up close. Here’s to fanning the flame!

New photographer just dropped 😎

We gave a camera to a secondary student and let them run the show: class, lunch, friends, and plenty of joy in between.

Joyful learning in a relational context? Turns out it photographs pretty well.

Most of us know someone whose faith faded somewhere between 8th grade and graduation.

That’s not the story we want for our kids.

At The River Academy, we partner with parents to form sharp minds and devoted hearts. Our students wrestle with big ideas inside a community that’s rooted in God’s truth, so the questions they ask grow their faith instead of wearing it down.

Rooted in truth, ready for life. Tours are open this fall. Link in bio.

Our kindergarteners learned all about Johnny Appleseed this week and celebrated by making and tasting their own homemade applesauce. 🍎

Grateful for sweet days like these at TRA!

Do you know a family who would love TRA? Send them our way! 🫶🏻

We’re so grateful for the families who help our school grow. So when you refer a new student who enrolls and attends TRA this year, we’ll give you $500. You can take it as a tuition credit or a check, or pass it on to another TRA family.

And you can refer as many families as you like. Each new student earns you another $500.

The program is open to current TRA families and staff. Just fill out the referral form (link in bio) when the new family enrolls.

Ask a TRA kindergartner what a noun is, and you'll probably get a song. Ask a senior, and you might get a full thesis defense.

In between, they learn to ask "why?" and then go find the answer themselves. Swipe to see how it builds over the years ->

If you want to see it for yourself, come sit in on a class. Tour link in bio!

“He has made everything beautiful in its time.” Ecclesiastes 3:11 🍂

Our kindergarteners kicked off the first day of fall with a nature hunt! Each student found 10 things outside, like leaves, acorns, sticks, and a few very special rocks.

Then they brought everything back to class and used their finds for math. They counted them, sorted them, and even made patterns. It was a sweet reminder that God’s creation is full of order and beauty, and our kids are learning to notice it.

Happy fall from TRA!
