Roanoke Adventist Preparatory School (RAPS) is a Christian school serving the Roanoke Valley with small-school setting options. RAPS has provided quality Christian education at a family-friendly tuition continuously since 1938. Students in grades K-8 have the opportunity to learn in a multi-class environment where students' needs and abilities are addressed individually. In addition to traditional Christian values, students have the opportunity to partake in specialized music and foreign language instruction begining at the kindergarten level. I am proud to have served as the French teacher for RAPS since 2008.

My daughter attends this school and I must say, I am very happy with her education. She receives excellent, personal attention from caring teachers in a wonderful environment. The school almost has a large "home-school" feel where every student receives individual attention. And while the school is small, the students do not lack anything. They have the basics (math, reading, etc), but also enjoy learning second languages, art, music, and much more. Plus, the tuition is the lowest in the valley, so cost is not prohibitive for those who want a private education for their children. This school genuinely cares for its students and their education. I would highly recommend it! read more
