Grade 9: Grow
RJC’s grade 9 GROW class emphasizes a ‘whole student’ approach to learning.
In addition to the school’s holistic programming, which includes athletics, arts, community, and faith, students will be engaged with ideas and opportunities that are relevant and meaningful.
RJC seeks to provide hands-on educational opportunities, supportive classrooms, and positive teacher-student relationships in an effort to help each student reach their potential.
In grade 9 GROW, students will be encouraged to explore their gifts, get involved in community life, foster personal independence, and consider their faith and values.
Students wishing to GROW, IMAGINE, THRIVE, EXPLORE, and BELONG are encouraged to apply now or check out some of RJC’s upcoming information activities.
“It’s never easy to let our kids grow up and admit that they might not need us in the same ways as they once did but watching what happens when we give them the space to grow is always worth it.”
– Nathan & Sarah Rinholm (RJC parents)
