Elementary School

elem.gif At Rockford Christian we believe the educational process is a partnership—a partnership between the parent and the school with God at the center. Rockford Christian is a wonderful place for your child to grow and learn. Your child will be encouraged to achieve their best, be challenged to excel, and nurtured and guided in a loving Christian environment. If you haven’t visited us yet, we encourage you to visit and experience first-hand the atmosphere that makes our school so exceptional.  The mission of Rockford Christian Schools is to challenge young people to know Christ as Lord, apply God’s truth in all areas of life, love others sacrificially, and achieve the highest level of knowledge and skill in order to serve God and others.
