MISSION:
RCMA Wimauma Community Academy, a "B" rated Title I Charter School

Grade Teacher.
RCMA Wimauma Community Academy, serving the area for more than
twenty-one years, is dedicated to opening doors of opportunity for
the children of Florida's farmworkers and agricultural migrants.
Most students in our small, community-oriented classes are English
Language Learners of Central American heritage with big dreams of
making their mark. Our teachers often comment on how privileged
they feel to work with young people who so greatly appreciate
learning! In order to best serve our student population, the school
is a dual language program school (50:50, English/Spanish), with a
one-way immersion model.
Our successful K-8 Charter School is located in Wimauma, Florida,
in Southeastern Hillsborough County. Our school serves
approximately 340 children, with two homerooms per grade level from
K-8; our small size allows us to serve our students and their
families on a personal level.
Redlands Christian Migrant Association, RCMA, is a non-profit
corporation serving Florida agriculture workers and their children
for more than fifty years. RCMA was recently named as a "Schools of
Hope operator" by the State Board of Education, a prestigious
designation for non-profit, charter school operators.
