We couldn't be happier with our daughter Jenna's experience at Riverstone. She loves going to school and has made some really good friends. She is growing personally and academically. We would highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a change from public school with outstanding academics.

Shopping around for a better alternative to public schools brought us to Riverstone United. The single most important element at Riverstone is God factored into each day at school. Our prayers have been answered as our grandkids thrive in their new school environment. Thanks Riverstone!

Our family has two children attending RUCA. I cannot explain the overwhelming peace I have as RUCA has come along side our family instilling a biblical worldview and godly values that are woven into educational curriculum. The other day my child shared how a fellow student was struggling with something. My child talked about how the principal came along side this student to offer guidance and then they prayed for God’s guidance and protection. My heart overflows to hear these stories. If you are looking for a soul-nurturing place for your family RUCA is the place to be!!!!!
We are Riverstone United
Riverstone United Christian Academy (RUCA) is a new private school option for families in and around Chester County. We are an independent, Christian middle school and high school that serves students in grades 6-12. Our educators are driven to support your child’s academic success through Christian education. We challenge students with a rigorous and active curriculum, and we support them with small class sizes and individualized attention.
Does this sound like a place your child would flourish in? Come meet us at one of our upcoming open house events, or call us to arrange a tour date for your child to spend time with us, experience our unique culture, and meet other students.
Our vision for Riverstone United Christian Academy is that families see and celebrate God’s faithfulness as your children grow their faith, engage their passions and discover their purpose.
Staffed by highly experienced Christian teachers and administrators, Riverstone United will provide students with a place to explore biblical truths in their daily life through a faith-focused education.
Just as rivers transform the land around them, our education is designed to cultivate strong spiritual foundations for our students by transforming them into Kingdom-minded learners.
