Redwood Christian Schools are located in the SF East Bay Area, 25 miles southeast of San Francisco. Redwood Christian Schools (RCS) currently has two East Bay Christian School campuses: one elementary Christian School, Redwood Christian Elementary, in Castro Valley, and a Christian Middle School & High School located in San Lorenzo, California.
RCS serves 680+ students in grades K-12, including more than 60 children in the Academic Assistance Program, which is designed to assist children with specific learning disabilities and other challenges that prevent them from functioning in our regular program. Our high school graduates are accepted by some of the finest universities in the country.
RCS also welcomes students from around the world including China, Korea, Japan, Vietnam and other parts of Asia, as well as Europe and South America. RCS is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant alien students and issue an I-20 for an F1 visa. We believe that our International Students are a tremendous opportunity to impact their country for Jesus.
School History
Founded in 1970 as an independent, interdenominational Christian school, RCS is dual accredited by both WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges) and ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International).
All contract teachers have a minimum of a bachelor’s degree, and many have masters degrees. More than 90% of all teachers are ACSI certified with many holding state teacher credentials. Every year, regardless of faculty turnover, the average teacher has been at RCS for 15-18 years with a great mix of veteran and younger teachers.
Notable Accomplishments / Recognition
Since our founding in 1970, RCS has been PRO Family and PRO Biblical Marriage. We are PRO Life and PRO Child. We are PRO Christian Church and PRO America. And unlike too many in our Great Country, we are without apology or compromise PRO JESUS throughout our school philosophy, curriculum and practices.
We remain committed to partnering with families to raise their children in a safe, secure, loving environment committed to our students individually and collectively.
