What opportunities do we have that make our school unique??
Buddy Program - Within the school we have a buddy program, where younger children are paired with older children. For example this year, our Grade 1 & 2 class are buddies with the Grade 5 & 6 class. The students meet every other week and create things together, read together and learn more about each other. This is a type of mentoring system that fosters a healthy atmosphere and reduces bullying.

Equine Assisted Learning Program-
We are excited to be offering a new equine Assisted Learning program for the Grade 4-9 students this year at Rimbey Christian School. This is not a riding program, as all the activities are done with feet on the ground. The Equine Assisted Learning program meets learning outcomes from both the PE and Health courses at each of these grades.
Music for Young Children
Ms. Karen Keates is here at the school on Monday's and Tuesday's teaching Music. She is also offered her piano talents for playing during our chapels on Tuesdays.

Robotics - One of the junior high option classes is Robotics. RCS has offered Robotics for the past number of years as an extra curricular activity after school hours, however, during the 2016-17 school year it has been incorporated as an option class. (The other option class is Foods/Sewing). Robotics is the branch of technology that deals with the design, construction, operation, and application of robots. The kids are not just playing with LEGO - they are building robots!
Mission Opportunities - The school provides opportunities for serving in the community, to put our "Faith into Action". In 2010, 2011 and 2012 students went on a mission trip to Mexicali and in 2014 a trip to El Paso, Texas. We have been proud to support Operation Christmas Child over the years as well as First Steps from North Korea. More locally, students visit the Parkland Manor and Long Term Care facilities here in Rimbey for singing, reading and game playing with seniors.
The Grade 7/8 class has been visiting the Adult Day Support Program here in Rimbey once a week and are engaging with the adults in the program through games, puzzles and crafts.
