RIPON CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS: Ripon Christian Schools will be hosting an Open House/Information night on Thursday, Jan. 20, at 7 p.m. in their Performing Arts Center. There will be information provided by staff members, parents and students as well as campus tours.
For over 80 years, Ripon Christian Schools has provided students with excellent academic training while at the same time offering opportunities and encouragement for significant spiritual growth. Ripon Christian’s mission is “to prepare Christian leaders who will joyfully live out their faith in God while humbly serving those around them.”
Bryan Groningen, Ripon Christian board vice-president, states, “Ripon Christian parents have been heard to say that Ripon Christian is the best kept secret around for preparation and acceptance to some of the top colleges and universities in the United States.” One hundred percent of Ripon Christian graduating seniors continue their post-secondary education and nearly 80% of seniors have met admission requirements for the UC system.
Students at Ripon Christian receive a solid foundation to handle the outside pressures young people face today. In a recent internal survey, 98% of the Ripon Christian community rated Ripon Christian as effectively preparing students for the future. With a rich, standards-based curriculum infused with academic knowledge and a Christian world-view, Ripon Christian students are prepared to be successful future leaders.
Ripon Christian Schools are located at 435 N. Maple Ave., (599-2155).
