Recognizing that a proper foundation is critical, our elementary school staff is focused on The Word. In the words of Martin Luther, “I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution that does not unceasingly pursue the study of God’s Word becomes corrupt.”

Martin Luther is talking about a Kingdom Focused Education. A Kingdom Focused Education is based on the fact that God is the Creator of the Universe and His Word is ultimate, absolute truth. Its focus is to teach children that one’s beliefs must be determined by these concepts. This is important because our beliefs shape our values and our values drive our actions.

At RCS, children will learn multiplication, but they will also learn about the One who multiplied the loaves and fishes. They will learn division, and also learn about the One who divided the Red Sea. They will learn about the world and its creations, and also learn about the Creator. They will learn language and the mechanics of words, and also learn about the One who is The Word.
