Redding Christian School is an independent, nondenominational private Kindergarten through 12th grade Christian school in Redding California. RCS is fully accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC Letter to RCHS).

On October 11, 1990, twelve people met in a home for prayer about the possibility of founding Redding’s first independent nondenominational Christian school.  These same people committed to meet once a week for the purposes of prayer and planning.

The search was on for a facility to house the school.  Finally, on January 28, 1991, after exploring many possibilities, the First Presbyterian Church of Redding graciously agreed to house our elementary grades, and the First Baptist Church would become home to the middle school.

In February a community parent information night was held with one hundred ten people in attendance.  The outcome was tremendous!  Over one hundred students enrolled that very night!

The new parents and board members pitched in and began the adventure of renovating the facilities and getting them up to code for a school.  What a job!  But, many hands indeed made light work.

In November of 1990, we became officially incorporated through the State of California and in August 1991, we opened our doors for the first day of school and welcomed 165 students.

Growth continued rapidly which forced us to look for larger facilities.  Neighborhood Church of Redding became our next gracious host, and when school began in August of 1995, we were ready at our beautiful new location, with grades kindergarten through eighth finally on one site with 295 eager students.

In December of 2001, North Valley Baptist Church approached us with the possibility of Redding Christian School starting a full high school at their facility.  After weeks of prayer we decided that God was leading us in this direction.  Redding Christian School parents had been praying for a high school for a number of years, so this was indeed an answer to prayer for them.  In August 2002, Redding Christian School opened the school year with 530 students in grades pre-kindergarten through twelfth, on two campuses.

We have truly experienced God’s hand in guiding the formation of Redding Christian School from its very inception.  What a blessing it has been to be part of helping to form young people to become all they can be in the Lord and for His service.
