Riverdale Baptist School (RBS) is a ministry of Riverdale Baptist Church. As a Christian educational institution, it will, therefore, reflect the philosophy, values and believers’ lifestyle of Riverdale Baptist Church. The administration, faculty and staff are born-again, Bible-believing Christians and active church members.
It is the philosophy of RBS that the Bible is the authoritative Word of God. All of the school’s programs, both curricular and extracurricular, are based on the principles set forth in God’s Word, and the Bible is the foundation of our philosophy of Christian education.
The purpose of our education is threefold: to teach students how they can know God; once they know God, to teach them to follow God’s principles as found in His Word; and finally, to train them to serve and glorify God through their lives. The above purposes can be fulfilled only after a person becomes born again. Students who profess to be believers in Christ will gain most from our Christian philosophy and environment. The primary purpose of RBS, however, is to assist parents in guiding their children into the knowledge and achievement of God’s will for their lives
It is the school’s desire to have a balanced educational program where excellence will permeate the spiritual, academic, physical and social aspects of our learning atmosphere. It is also the school’s wish to help in the reinforcement of the Christian home. When the philosophy, values and lifestyle of a Christian home complement the school, the student will benefit most from this relationship. RBS does not attempt to replace the Christian home but tries to strengthen it. RBS recognizes a Christian home as one having at least one parent who is born again.
The curriculum chosen by RBS is determined by its philosophy. It is selected to impart the knowledge of God’s truth, to teach God’s values of right and wrong, and is intended to lead students to the development of Christian character. It also guides students to a realization of God’s will for their lives and equips them to perform His will.
Parents who desire this type of a Christian educational environment and atmosphere for their child(ren), and who are willing to have an open and supportive communication between the home and school, are welcome to apply to enroll their child(ren) at Riverdale Baptist School.
