RCS Junior High
"Hear God's Voice - Know God's Heart "

Welcome to the Redding Christian School Junior High Web Page.  Check our announcements and teacher web pages regularly for the latest updates and information regarding our academic, social,  athletic, and extra-curricular agendas.

Our jr. high theme for this year is "Hear God's Voice - Know God's Heart." 

ACADEMICS

   It is our goal in Junior High, to not only equip our students for High School, but to help prepare them for college.  RCS is an accelerated program because we believe that we owe it to our students to prepare them so all options will be open when they graduate.  It is our intent to help prepare them for life!  Even though RCS has an accelerated academic program, it has been our experience that it is not “brain” that counts as much as motivation.  If a student wants to do well, he or she will.  Success in our program is not out of reach for the average student who simply applies himself or herself.

     Organization at the Junior High level really helps.  Usually students this age are not known for their highly developed organizational skills.  We realize that, so we will help you develop a system that works for you and will stay with you the rest of your life.  You will have numerous activities and assignments that flood your life at this time and you will find it fun and manageable if you have a system that helps you keep it all straight.  That applies to homework, too.

     Yes, there is plenty of homework, but it is manageable if you do it in bits and pieces.  If you have a month to get a major project in, and you wait until two days before to get started, you will be frustrated.  However, this experience may teach you that you don’t like that feeling of frustration and next time you will pace yourself a little differently. You will also be amazed at how much you will mature in all areas at the Junior High level.  Don’t be too hard on yourself.  You can be successful!

     This is a big step for those of you who have already been a part of our RCS Family.  You have the advantage of being used to an accelerated curriculum, but you should still expect some adjustment to Junior High.  It is very different than the elementary school level.  You will notice an increase in homework and expectations concerning responsibility and behavior.  All the fun of getting to do the things you have watched the older students participate in will be yours, but you should still expect an adjustment period to adjust to new ways of doing things.
