RMCA strives to embody the vision of “Creating culturally literate citizens who will impact their world for life, liberty, and justice.”  This is the tenet that our classically trained educators live by.  In the words of E.D. Hirsch, a “Literate culture is the most democratic culture in our land: it excludes nobody; it cuts across generations and social groups and classes; it is not usually ones first culture, but it should be every ones second, existing as it does beyond the nearest fears of family, neighborhood, and region.” As a Core Knowledge institution, RMCA strives to add citizens equipped to participate in that culturally literate body politic.  This is what the educators and scholars at RMCA are dedicating their lives to.
