Colleges look more favorably at students appying from a SACS accredited high school, and RBA is proud to be one of the schools and universities which have achieved this prestigious accreditation.

Academics receive the highest priority at Radnor Baptist Academy. It is our philosophy that learning should be fun and filled with exciting opportunities which challenge each student to reach his or her greatest potential.
