The history of Rimbey Christian School is short by some standards and thirty years ago it was only visions and dreams, but God has blessed these efforts abundantly. What was discussion in 1984 became reality in 1986 when Rimbey Christian School first opened its doors in its 2 portable classrooms to 14 students in grades 1-5 and another 11 in kindergarten.
The student body and staff continued to grow, but, such was not the case with the building - it seemed to be shrinking!
In 1988/89 a fund-raising program was begun resulting in $100,000 being raised to actually build a school! The first part of the building built in 1989 had 6 classrooms, a staff room and an office. In 1995 the library, kitchen, 2 classrooms and a resource room were added. An additional five acres were purchased in 1995 to add to the initial three acres. In 2007 Rimbey Christian School sold 2.45 acres to clear the school of all debt.
Today, we are continually reminded of God's love and faithfulness and how he is indeed our Provider.
Although the student body and size of staff have decreased over the past few years, Rimbey Christian School is still thriving and continues to provide high quality education that develops inter-denominational Christian values in a joyful and inclusive environment, displays and magnifies Christ in all things, supports and values all students, builds positive relationships and aligns with Alberta curriculum.
