Explore How an Elementary Education at RCS is the Foundation for Success in Middle School and High School
Reading, Writing, and E.L.A.
RCE students are reading on average 1.5 years ahead of grade level, and RCHS students are writing at a college level! To see how RCS achieves this strong foundation come and see:
- 1st grade students present a writing piece of instructions for making pizza, hamburger, cookies, popcorn and more! Students will read their writing as they "host" a cooking show.
- 5th graders will present their essays using the app Book Creator.
- After writing an expository essay about an inventor, 6th Graders converse with you in character to explain their impact on the world.
- World History students demonstrate a range of understanding on how to think historically and whether history is one of prominent individuals or movements among groups.
- Foreign Language classes present live speeches 100% in Spanish or Mandarin.
- High School Sophomores discuss various non-fiction writing techniques while Juniors and Seniors recite verse and perform literary analysis.
Explore Math
RCS students are taught that mathematics is an extraordinary language through which we can begin to understand the universe around us. High School Math classes build on the foundational math skills taught in younger years to master complex proofs and applications.
- 2nd graders work through various centers for graphing different donut-themed scenarios.
- Algebra Students use variable equations to create Desmos Art.
- Algebra 2/Trig students describe parent functions and their efficacies.
- Biology students demonstrate diffusion and cell size in labs on site.
Project and Inquiry-Based Learning
Another foundation of a RCS education is the 21st Century Learning skills gleaned from project and inquiry-based assignments. See how our academics explain and model the world around us in these projects:
- TK & Kindergarten ELA centers show even our youngest students learn through inquiry.
- 3rd graders present a living wax museum of the people highlighted in their biography essays.
- 4th graders will present a hands on science model/experiment for parents to try. Students will be the teachers guiding parents through different forms of energy.
- Middle Schoolers model the scientific method applied to various experiments in the Science Fair.
- Economics students pitch their businesses in a “Shark Tank” style display.
- Physics students demonstrate the effects of centrifugal force and conductivity on previously done labs.
Biblical Integration
Throughout all of RCS academics is a Christ-centered education which will equip students for daily living and eternal life. Every class is taught through a Biblical Worldview.
- Bible students share learned strategies that help interpret and understand God’s Word.
- History students explain how we can learn from the past to make a better future.
