Middle and High School Academics
It is the goal of Richmond Christian School to provide excellence in academic
instruction across all grade levels. The core subjects taught in the middle
school grades (6th through 8th) include Literature, Writing & Grammar, Math
(including Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1), Bible, History, Science, and Physical
Education. Additional electives offer middle school students the opportunity for
instruction in areas including Creative Writing, Debate, Personal Finance, Art,
Music, First Aid/CPR, Keyboarding, Latin, Spanish, Study Skills, World Cultures,
Physics, Fishing, and Bible Study.
 At the high school level, students complete core areas of study in the areas of
English, Math, Bible, History, Science, Foreign Language, and Physical
Education/Health according to their graduation tract requirements. (Richmond
Christian offers both a standard and advanced diploma.) Students in the high
school have the opportunity to choose elective study in many areas including
Music, Art, Drama, Public Speaking, Personal Finance, SAT Preparation, Yearbook,
Psychology, and Computer Technology, as well as electives within many core
subject areas.
In addition to these core and elective areas of study, all students at the
secondary level are instructed yearly in Computer Technology in Richmond
Christian’s School’s computer lab. They learn the importance of God’s word
through purposeful Biblical integration in all subject areas aimed at creating a
Christ-centered world view in the lives of our students. They are given the
opportunity for advanced study through the choosing of Honors level course work
and Dual Enrollment through on-line classes at several colleges and
universities. Finally, they are encouraged to grow academically through the
promotion of critical thinking and teaching aimed at various learning styles.
It is the goal of Richmond Christian School to prepare our students to follow
the Lord’s calling on their lives and to equip our graduates to go on to earn
advanced degrees. The provision of excellence in academics, coupled with the
building of a strong spiritual foundation, is viewed as critical to that goal.
