We at Rochester Christian School believe that the responsibility of educating a child lies with the home.
Ever since 1917, Christian parents have bonded together to make RCS an extension of the Christian home in partnership with the Church.
We teach our children from a Biblical base, understanding that God reveals Himself through His Word, Holy Spirit, history, and creation.
We teach that God is the creator and sustainer of the universe and that He calls us to be agents of His restoration in His world.
Thus, we nurture the intellectual, spiritual, physical, social, and emotional development of our children.
At RCS, students learn within a caring Christian community and are taught by professional, certified teachers.

School Reviews
5 5/12/2015
After enrolling at this school, within weeks we became a family with the educators and other families there. The kids are well taken care of, standards are high and the day to day business from a parents perspective is completely transparent. We KNOW that our children are being taught fantastic curriculum as well as it being tied in with non-denominational Christian values. We live, work, and see the staff and children all around us in our communities and there is always an air of friendship, fellowship and love. We love this school and are thankful that we found it.
