High School (9-12)
Upper School
Preparing Hearts and Minds for a Life of Impact
At Richmond Christian School, we offer a rigorous college and career preparatory curriculum that cultivates both intellectual growth and spiritual maturity. Every course is taught from a distinctly biblical worldview, inviting students to think critically and wrestle with big ideas.
Our upper school program invites students to engage deeply through close reading, thoughtful analysis, meaningful discussion, creative expression, collaborative projects, and reflective evaluation. RCS offers two diploma tracks—standard and advanced—alongside a rich selection of electives, honors courses, Advanced Placement (AP), and dual enrollment opportunities.
On Campus Dual Enrollment: Through a partnership with Richard Bland College, RCS students may enroll in on-campus dual enrollment courses and earn up to 12 college credit hours before graduation.
Online Dual Enrollment: Additionally, RCS students can access a broad range of online dual enrollment courses through Liberty University, expanding their academic horizons while remaining rooted in a Christ-centered educational environment.
Senior Portfolio: At RCS, the semester-long senior portfolio project guides students to gather some of their best work while also looking back at lessons learned during their formative years. Students assess their life and development as individuals through personal reflections, creative writing, research, analysis, and more. The project culminates with a presentation that helps each student articulate their personal, spiritual, educational, and vocational goals.
Portrait an RCS Graduate: Graduates of Richmond Christian School are equipped—mind and spirit—to lead with wisdom, serve with compassion, and stand firm in faith as they step confidently into the next chapter of their lives.
It is the goal of Richmond Christian School to prepare our students to follow the Lord’s calling on their lives and to equip our graduates to go on to earn advanced degrees. The provision of excellence in academics, coupled with the building of a strong spiritual foundation, is viewed as critical to that goal.
