Why RVCS
We invite you to make an eternal investment in your child!
We love God.
He is the reason for this Christian school. Everything we do points to Him as the constant source of our joy and strength. We seek to glorify Him in all we think, say, and do.
We are in partnership with our families.
The values that are stressed at home are reinforced at school. We seek to prepare and equip citizens for the Kingdom of God, disciples who share the gospel. We partner with churches in reinforcing the message of salvation and the importance of serving and loving others.
We love kids.
If you would ask any teacher or staff member what makes Rock Valley Christian worth it, the first thing they will say is the kids. It's our deep desire to train children in the way they should go, to help them to seek out God's will for their life, to help them use their talents and gifts, and to draw them closer to God by learning about His world and His Word. We are in the business of training disciples. We also provide a safe atmosphere through a secure main entrance, training our students in appropriate and respectful behavior, holding students accountable when they need disciplinary support, and providing adult supervision on the playground and in the hallways and classrooms. We want students to feel comfortable in their learning environment, and providing safety is one of our priorities.
We love teaching.
Our teachers are committed believers seeking to model Christ before their students. They speak the truth, God's truth. That truth is weaved through the entire day, from devotions to math, to chapel to recess. While not perfect, they stand in front of your children as not only experts in curricular areas, but also fellow image-bearers and role models of Christ. We pray for students who struggle, rejoice and celebrate in good times, and correct with themes of biblical restoration and grace.
We remain faithful to a vision for Biblically-grounded, Christ-centered education that proclaims Christ as Creator, Redeemer, and Lord of all.
We love learning.
All of life is studied in submission to the Bible. In science, we believe God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. In social studies and history, we believe the world is controlled by an omnipotent God. We believe math is a reflection of the mind of an orderly God. In language arts, students are exposed to a variety of quality literature, which is appreciated as a demonstration of common grace and interpreted in the light of God's Word. Learning is a form of worship, as we understand more and more about our Creator.
As you can see, our scores are well above the grade-level expectations, which are a testament to our love of learning and strong teaching at RVCS.
We love Rock Valley Christian School.
It is our prayer that your child develops socially, physically, spiritually, academically, and emotionally. At Rock Valley Christian School, the faculty and staff are equipped to address each of these developing areas of a child's life, in the light of God's Word. We take seriously the responsibility to develop minds, but we also seek to develop hearts - hearts for God. We seek to be excellent, and we seek to be Christ-centered.
Christian educators help cultivate a worldview in which God has His rightful place, and they look to the Bible for guidance in answering life's big questions. Our teachers enhance our students' spiritual development in an intentional and nurturing manner. RVCS is all about equipping our students with a knowledge and understanding of Christ and His creation.
