My two youngest children attended Rainier Christian Middle School and had a great experience. They enjoyed the teachers, atmosphere and sports offered at the M.S.. The spiritual growth was evident with Chapel each week, Bible classes and teaching life lessons with Christ at the center of what they were being taught. I would highly recommend RCMS to all families!

Great school for my kids! The spiritual and academic focus was great and prepared them very well for Rainier Christian High School and college, where they got lots of scholarships because of the great academics they got in school.

We have been involved with public as well as private schools and RCS, all grades, has been such a blessing and benefit for our childern. We have been at RCS for more than 9 years. The teachers are active and genuinely care about each and every student. The academics exceed public expectation. The social environment is very safe and teaches a positive relationship between peers as well as others. The teachers are very accessable and available and always willing to help in any issues. I currently have all my children enrolled at RCS and plan to continue until they have graduated. I highly recommend the high standards of RCS, whether you are considering the middle school, high school, or elementary level!!
