Leading by example with emotional maturity, humility, and positive school spirit; displaying grit and a growth mindset on and off the field; fostering a supportive community; balancing academics, sports, relationships, and community; communicating kindly with everyone, and reflecting Christ's character in your actions.
At our school, we believe in nurturing the whole student, fostering physical well-being alongside academic and spiritual growth. Our athletics program starts in 3rd grade, encouraging students of all skill levels to participate and develop a lifelong love for physical activity beyond PE classes. They gain valuable life skills like teamwork, sportsmanship, discipline, perseverance, and time management, all while forming friendships and creating lasting memories.
We offer a variety of sports to cater to every student's interests, whether they prefer team or individual sports. Our smaller school size ensures inclusivity, providing opportunities for all students to play, learn, and grow together. While we value extracurricular involvement like sports, we prioritize academics. Student athletes must meet academic standards to participate, ensuring they maintain a balanced focus on their education and personal development.
Signing-up to Play
Students interested in participating in sports at Redlands Adventist Academy follow a structured process. Middle school and high school students must attend tryouts, provide a current sports physical for the year, and complete the athletic clearance through our online platform, Home Campus. They also need to be formally accepted into RAA before starting any athletic paperwork or joining practices. Elementary students do not have to follow the same steps.

All volunteers must complete the necessary paperwork to ensure campus safety. We are deeply thankful for the invaluable contributions of our volunteers.
