Mission
We seek to cultivate young men and women with the transforming truth of Jesus Christ and an academically rich foundation to empower them to excel in their God-given gifts and passions.
Vision
To inspire students with a passion for academic excellence, love for Christ and the pursuit of His purpose for their lives.
Values
We challenge students to explore and develop their faith, wisdom, and passions through a biblical worldview and the pursuit of innovative academic excellence. We guide students to develop strong, Christ-like character and integrity by cultivating relationships through modeling, listening, and leading. We support each other and our community through authentic relationships that are based on compassion and collaboration, striving to reflect the love of Jesus Christ in the world.
What’s in a Name?
Rivers Transform: Just as rivers transform the landscape and objects within, our school is designed to transform the hearts and minds of young people through the love of Christ, the power of His word, and an authentic Christian community.
Ancient Connections: In ancient times, God called His people to demonstrate their faith, when crossing the Jordan, by taking twelve stones from the river as a testimony to His faithfulness.
Unity is Integral: As a Christian school, we uphold the ongoing need for unity of believers coupled with cultural unity. Both are critical to fostering a positive school community.
Statement of Faith
We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; II Corinthians 13:14
We believe that Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Because of his great love for us, He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where at the right hand of the Father, He now is our High Priest and Advocate. John 1:1; Luke 1:35; I Corinthians 15:3,4
We believe that all people are lost and sinful without Christ. We believe that God pursues all who are lost, and that the gift of salvation, while offered to all by grace, must be received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23-26; Titus 3:5
We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and to convict and regenerate the sinner and indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service. John 15:26; 16:8
We believe that the scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments, are the inspired word of God, the complete revelation of his will for humanity, and the divine final authority for all Christian faith and life. II Timothy 2:16; II Peter 1:21
We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of eternal death. John 5:24-25, 28-29
We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in the Lord Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit as established in the Bible. John 17:20-23; I Corinthians 12:12-13
We believe that Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection broke the power of the evil one over those who put their faith in Jesus and restores their ability to rightly reflect the image of God in this world. This redemption calls us to live life in service, sacrifice, and love for one another and the world. The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus marks the beginning of the restoration of this world to its original design and waits in hope for Jesus to bring it to completion at His personal and visible return. Rev. 21:5; Mathew 20: 26-28; Hebrews 2:14-15
