About – HS
RCHS is a next-generation high school, unique to the greater Grand Forks area, with the goal of training both the heart and the mind of students in the development of godly wisdom, so they may reflect the character of Jesus Christ in everything they do. Students will be equipped to think biblically and encouraged to be effective communicators, collaborators, creators, critical thinkers, and problem solvers.
Curriculum
Riverside is partnering with NorthStar Academy to offer over 220 courses, including 5 foreign languages, 18 AP courses, career exploration courses, and expedition courses including travel, as part of their course curriculum. NorthStar Academy is a fully accredited online, private college preparatory Christian school offering a rigorous and high-quality academic program taught by highly qualified, mission-minded, Christian educators in a supportive and encouraging environment. Academic and spiritual readiness is achieved through faith-based, student-centered courses led by credentialed teachers who challenge students through engaging, standards-based content. Along with these online offerings, students will have the opportunity to take onsite, traditional classes and participate in career exploration with community-based job shadowing and internships tailored to the interest of the student.
Personalized Education
RCHS students will work with a counselor, to help create the frame for their coursework, based on the unique interests and abilities of each student. Discipleship and mentorship promote students who are striving to grow in personal awareness, communication, and intimacy with God, so they can live out that relationship in the world. Faculty and staff will mentor the student and, in turn, the students will have opportunities to mentor others, peers as well as younger students.
Mission Minded
Students of RCHS will be mission-focused with the opportunity to serve locally, regionally, and beyond. RCHS students will be equipped to lead their family, their workplace, their community, and the world to the knowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior.
