Curriculum
All Christian programs follow Alberta’s Programs of Study with biblical instruction in a classroom environment. Outside of offering a solid core program – complemented by a wide variety of options, extracurricular activities, service projects and missions – religious education centred on the Christian faith is also considered a core program.
Benefits of a Christian Education
RVS' Christian programs equip learners with timeless principles to help guide them through life. Through daily devotions and prayer, formal Christian studies, weekly chapel and foundations of faith woven into daily learnings in natural ways, students are encouraged to build an active, growing relationship with Christ, while demonstrating respect, responsibility, caring, integrity, honesty, forgiveness and empathy.
