RCS Philosophy

Christian education has its foundation in the Creator-mankind relationship taught in the Bible.  It is a process wherein a child's character is formed by instruction based on the truth of God's Word in all areas of life.

The responsibility for education rests upon the parents.  They may delegate part of this responsibility to an institution able to carry forward this God-given task.  The authority of the teacher in discipline and character training comes from the fact that the parent has placed the child in the teacher's care.

The student is a spiritual being created in the image of God.  Therefore, the student is capable of learning, knowing, and obeying the Word of God.  The student can gain an understanding of the structure and order God has placed in His creation.  As a creature of God's creation, the student has physical, moral, intellectual, and social needs to be met inside the boundaries of God's Biblical laws.  As the student grows and matures in faith, he or she learns how to responsively serve Christ as part of God's sovereign plan.

The curriculum of the Randolph Christian School is used to encourage students to view their culture in the light of God's Word and to guide students in their service to Christ's everlasting kingdom.

History - Built on a Strong Foundation

Over 100 Years Strong

​Over the past one hundred years, it is clearly evident that the Lord has truly blessed Christian education in the Randolph area. Begun in 1913 as a parochial school, Randolph Christian School (RCS) was begun by local parents who desired to provide a Bible-based, Christ-centered education for their children. Though not directly stated at that time, the mission of RCS was and still is “to obey His command to instruct His children in the fear of His name and to educate them in a way which helps them recognize the authority of Christ in every area of life.”

At first, classes were held in the consistory room of the First Randolph Christian Reformed Church. Three years later, the first school building was built in East Friesland. At that time, the school had one classroom with sixty-eight students, and two teachers. A couple of years later, with an increase in enrollment, the school added on to accommodate approximately 100 students. Most of these children came from the local Christian Reformed and Reformed Churches. In 1960 the final addition was made.

RCS, as we know it today, is not just rooted in the history of the East Friesland school, but also has roots in Randolph. Beginning with a society of concerned parents in 1947, Immanuel Christian School opened its doors in the fall of 1948. In 1949 the first phase of the current RCS building was begun. Over the years, as Immanuel grew, several other additions were added.

In 1973, the two schools merged. At first, the younger students, those in grades 5K–3, had classes in the East Friesland facility. Grades 4-8 met in the Randolph building. In 1983, all classes were brought to Randolph and an addition to the school building was completed. With this move, the East Friesland facility was dismantled and their materials were used to construct four new classrooms and offices in Randolph.

With the passing of time, new curriculum developments have led to new needs at RCS. These needs include facilities for computers and new technology, an updated science room, and a new music room. This newest addition was dedicated in 1997.
