Richmond Christian School

RCS is so important to our family that I am willing to continue to volunteer my time to strengthen the school going forward. I have two children that attend the school and the love and dedication of the teachers at RCS is incomparable. Both of my children learn very differently and because of the small classroom size, the teachers are able to get to know each child and understand each one's needs of learning. I believe God is working at RCS and it is in God that I place my trust to lead RCS into the future. He has and will provide the required leadership, the parents that are able to give their time and talents and the amazing teachers to give our students quality Christian Education. I am so proud that the legacy of RCS continues on after 60 years!

My children have attended RCS since Kindergarden. Every teacher we have had has been an amazing example for my children. The teachers are very committed to what they do and it's clear they are there because they love the children. It's not a job for them it is a calling and a mission. I am thankful to every one of them and the time and attention they have poured into my children. My kids have excelled academically and I am thankful for what the have NOT learned in public school.

This school lacks solid leadership and administration. The teachers are good and the curriculum is sound, but I suggest if you want to send your child to this school, you truly investigate what it is you are investing in. I suggest going to Banner or Guardian if you are looking for a school that will provide a strategic education for your child. For a private school, I fell the education is no better than a public school and is not worth the funding.

I can't begin to say how much RCS means to my family and me. I am a mother of a wonderful little daughter who now attends RCS. I graduated from RCS many years ago. RCS gave me a secure foundation, good education, but more importantly it gave me a very strong faith, belief and relationship with the Lord. After I graduated from RCS, I choose to go into the medical field so I could help and minister to others. I did not have any problems getting into a great university and medical school. In fact, I did quite well. My daughter is also enjoying attending RCS very much. She is learning a lot and is enjoying the art and music programs that have. Her teachers are very intelligent and have teaching degrees and a lot of them have masters degrees. These teachers are very much like the ones I use to have when I attended RCS. They show the children God's love and teach them with a lot of tenderness, love and compassion. RSC is so blessed to have such wonderful, caring Christian teachers. We are so blessed to have a school like RCS still in existence today. May the Lord continue to bless this school, all who support it, and use it for the up building of God's Kingdom.

RCS has made some recently good changes within the Administration and their board. We are impressed with their commitment of quality Christian education and environment. Therefore, we can honestly say that the changes they made are for the betterment of the school and the children. RCS is going forward in all the right directions. We can't say enough wonderful things about this school. We love RCS and thank the Lord for it. Our daughter graduated from RCS many years ago. Now, our granddaughter attends there and loves it. She is being taught academically well, as well as the right Biblical principals according to God's Word., and that is the most important thing.

We attended our second Grandparents Day this past Friday at RCS. We were served a delicious breakfast, as well as entertained by the students. What a blessing it was to see our granddaughter, who is in first grade, so completely happy. We saw all the children sing, ring bells, play flutes, etc. It was so moving that I cried. It was really inspiring and uplifting. The children were so happy with their loving and caring teachers, who teach for the love of the Lord and their love of children. The classrooms were nicely decorated with only having 15 children, so the teacher could give each child individual attention. RCS has been recently updated and is very clean and neat. It has a large cafeteria, beautiful gym, and a lovely chapel. We also saw a large, well equipped library and computer lab with 28+ computers. All the children we saw seemed very happy, well-behaved, and polite. We thank the Lord for this wonderful school that teaches our children God's Word. What a difference it makes in their lives and in our world.

Two of my six my grandchildren attend Richmond Christian School. I love to visit all of my grandchildren, but I have to say that Grandparent's Day at Richmond Christian School is beyond special. They celebrate family and my grandchildren take such pride in taking care of me while I am there for that day. I have found that Richmond Christian School is not only educating my grandchildren well, but the family values that they install in our children are priceless! I pray for the school, the teachers, the students and the families each day! Thank you for what you do for our family and will continue to do for many years to come!! God Bless!

I attended RCS from K-5 through 12th grade, and I am currently in college. I agree that while elementary school education was adequate, I cannot say the same for middle and high school. High school was especially appalling. There were hardly any AP courses available, only one foreign language offered (by the way, I still can't speak Spanish), and next to no emphasis on art, music, or theater to explore. I was a top student at RCS and I had to rely on dual enrollment to fill in those missing gaps to even be considered for college acceptance, therefore spending MORE money on top of this overpriced tuition. Once I had been accepted to my university of choice, I had to take an enormous load of prerequisites simply because RCS did not prepare me for college level education. **PARENTS: If your teens are college-bound high schoolers, consider options that will fit their academic needs best. Sure, this place may have the Christian environment that you are looking for, but don't expect top-notch education. I know that many will say I'm being "negative", but trust when I say I speak from experience!

We have a daughter in Kindergarten this year at Richmond Christian School and are very happy that God brought us here. She has been in a loving and nurturing class with a wonderful teacher. We love her Kindergarten teacher! She has learned so much this year and has grown in academics and also spiritually. We love that she is excited to go to school every day and has the best day ever ( everyday)! The teachers, faculty and staff that we have met are wonderful Christians and really love the students. We have been encouraged to participate and volunteer and be a part of the RCS family. We appreciate knowing that our little girl is taken care of each day and is getting a great education. We have been impressed with RCS all year and pray God's blessings for this wonderful school. If you want your child to be loved, nurtured, and instructed academically and spiritually, Richmond Christian School is the school for you!

Richmond Christian is a GREAT school! Our three children graduated from RCS and each one had a wonderful experience! We visited EVERY Christian school in the Richmond area before making the decision to enroll our children at RCS. We never once looked back or questioned our decision, because we knew we had made the best choice! Moving here from another state and making the transition into Middle and Elementary School were so easy for our children with the help of exceptional teachers, caring staff, and friendly students. They received a Biblically-based, top-notch education, saw Christ-like behavior modeled by teachers and staff, and formed life long friendships with other RCS students. We will always be grateful for the tremendous impact RCS has had on our children and our family!
