About Richmond Charter Academy

Why families choose Richmond Charter Academy

Richmond Charter Academy prepares underserved students for success in college and beyond through rigorous academics and character development. RCA is the middle grades bridge in the AMPS TK–12 pathway — after Benito Juarez Elementary and before John Henry High School.

Families apply through EnrollWCC during the September–February application window. AMPS schools run a virtual lottery and notify families of offers or waitlist status through the online portal.

Wonderful Foundations supports RCA with operational and campus grants that help Richmond families access a proven charter network.
