Academics
Welcome to Ravenswood Christian School
For over 50 years, Ravenswood Christian School has been a shining beacon of faith-based education in the heart of Lincoln Square. At RCS, we are dedicated to nurturing young minds with academic excellence, unwavering perseverance, and integrity grounded in biblical truth.
We firmly believe that “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7). That’s why our curriculum is built on the timeless teachings of God’s Word, keeping Christ at the center of everything we do. Inspired by Proverbs 10:14, “Wise men lay up knowledge,” we strive to instill a love for learning while encouraging students to grow in wisdom and faith.
Discover Excellence in Education
At Ravenswood Christian School, we partner with families to provide a Christ-centered, academically rigorous education that prepares students for success in life and eternity. Using the trusted Abeka curriculum, we nurture young minds through methods proven to inspire deep understanding and lasting knowledge.
Our Teaching Approach
A Strong Foundation with a Spiral Review Approach
Our students build on a strong foundation as they progress through grades, revisiting key concepts to deepen their understanding. This spiral approach ensures that lessons learned early on are reinforced and applied, preventing learning gaps and fostering confidence.Engaging All Learning Preferences
Every child learns uniquely, which is why we integrate auditory, visual, and kinesthetic activities into each lesson. By addressing all learning preferences, we teach adaptability and resilience, equipping students to thrive academically and in life.Bringing Learning to Life with Cross-Subject Integration
At Ravenswood, education doesn’t happen in isolation. Through cross-subject integration, we connect ideas across disciplines, making lessons engaging and memorable. For example, students might study historical figures in social studies, explore them in literature, create themed projects, and apply artistic skills—all reinforcing their understanding of the world around them.
Christ-Centered Learning Every Day
At Ravenswood, biblical principles are more than a subject—they’re a way of life. Each day, students dive into Bible classes that include:
- Bible Study: Discovering God’s truth through His Word.
- Bible Memorization: Hiding God’s Word in their hearts for lifelong guidance.
- Practical Christian Living: Applying biblical values to everyday life.
We aim to equip every student with the tools to excel academically, develop strong character, and live out their faith boldly.
