Overview

Mission

Our purpose is to confront students with the important realities of life so that they may learn how to evaluate them in the light of the eternal principles taught in the bible. At the rudyard christian school, we seek to uphold the discipline and values of the christian home. Students attending are required to obey rules that we believe are in harmony with rules found in well-ordered christian homes. The rudyard christian school is open to students from homes where christ is honored. Our purpose is not to serve as an alternative to public schools, nor to serve those students whose parents are dissatisfied with the public schools. We wish to be a school of first choice for those parents desiring to provide their children with a christ-centered education.

What it reported doing in 2024

Education - the basis of instruction for the rudyard christian school is to provide: 1. A basic education for students at the elementary level. 2. An education in an atmosphere of christian love and discipline. 3. A biblical focus not available in public schools.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
