What is a school? According to the Oxford Dictionary, it is “an institution for educating children.”

But what is the word for an institution that not only educates the mind, but also the spirit? What is the word for a place that builds lifelong bonds amongst students, staff, and parents? A place that becomes so near and dear, it feels more like family?

The word “school” doesn’t seem big enough to encompass what Robinson Township Christian School means to our family. As a parent, the peace that I feel dropping off my three sons (grades: 2, 6, and 10) each day is priceless. In an unsettled world, one where talk of God is considered taboo and Christian values are often shamed, it is an absolute blessing to have my children within those walls. 

Within those walls are some of the best teachers, coaches, volunteers and administrators that I have ever met. They show the fruits of the spirit in all that they do. They are well-equipped and considerate in answering any and all questions that my children have, and believe me, they have many. The individualized classical instruction that they receive is preparing them to think deeply and critically in all areas of learning. 

RTCS isn’t just a school to us. It’s a gift. A gift we can clearly see the hand of God in every single day. We thank the Lord for his provision and care in providing us a place like RTCS—a place that is so much more than a school that it could only be a gift from God.
