Spiritual Life

Student Life:

The academic life at Rosehill Christian School is not compartmentalized apart from one’s spiritual life. The integration of the parts into a whole produces a student whose view of the world is based in true, intelligent, authentic, Jesus-like core character. In pursuit of this integration, Rosehill Christian School serves the community, area congregations, its students and the family with love and holiness.

Chapels:

Time for praise and worship is built into a student’s weekly timeline. Each Wednesday, students attend a chapel service designed for their grade level. Spiritual growth comes from encountering God through music, prayer, and teaching.

Retreats:

We understand that friendships are built on campus and off-site, too. A 3-4 night retreat is scheduled at a remote camping facility where students have the opportunity to have fun in a group setting outside the walls of a classroom. The fall retreat brings the high school students together in an environment that bonds students together. A special speaker is invited to teach and encourage the students how to continue loving God and loving others.

Bible Classes

Each student is required to be enrolled in a Bible course each semester. Courses are designed to prepare students for the life they will experience as they head to college.
The first 5 weeks are used to read the Bible from cover to Cover. We are using
The Story: Teen Edition: The Bible as One Continuing Story of God and His People by ZonderKidz (Apr 12, 2011) as our guide.
