School History

The ultimate goal is the development of students prepared, both academically and spiritually, to serve the Lord Jesus Christ through their character and leadership.

Riverside Christian School was begun in 1973 as a ministry of West Side Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. Hal Campbell. Its original name was West Side Christian School . The school enrolled 35 students in its first year and has since grown to an enrollment of over 550. Because of the broad base of interest and projected future expansion, RCS has become an independent corporation, true to its heritage and committed to serving the whole Christian community. In the spring of 2007, RCS became fully accredited with the Association of Christian Schools International and the Northwest Accreditation Commission. While much has changed since those humble beginnings, the overall mission of the school has remained the same – to assist parents in the education and training of their children, emphasizing spiritual growth and academic excellence.
