Risen Christ is a nationally accredited school (NLSA) offering an education of academic excellence with a Christian world view since 1976.
Small class sizes and multi-aged classrooms allow students to learn at their level and afford students a more personalized education.
The addition of an online high school partnership with a variety of sought after platforms allows students to continue their secondary education in a flexible environment which permits students to pursue extra-curricular interests, career path choices through internships and meaningful service learning projects which better prepare the student for college and life beyond the classroom.
Visas are available for students grades K-12. Risen Christ has been granted permission through the Department of Homeland Security to issue F1 International Education visas to students wanting to receive an education and diploma from an American institution.
