Who We Are

Private Christian school in Elgin, IL for preschool through 12th grade

Why We’re Here

We are here to grow young people who love Jesus, think well, and live with purpose. We partner with families who want their kids to be rooted in what is true and ready to make a real difference.

How We Partner With Families

You are the most important influence in your child’s life. We take that seriously. Our families and teachers share the same heart for our students, and that shapes how we work together. Ultimately, we want to partner with you to grow capable young people who live with faith and purpose.

If that resonates, we would love to meet you.

Who Our Students Are Becoming

Grounded

A Person of Substance

Your child’s heart matters. Our students are learning what it means to lead with humility and show integrity. They are guided to reflect Christ’s love in how they treat others every day.

Growing

Prepared for Whatever
Comes Next

Our students are building the critical thinking and discernment that serve them well in college, career, and life. They learn to engage the world with curiosity and confidence.

Impacting

A Life with Purpose

God created your child with unique gifts. We want them to learn who they are and whose they are. That changes how they see everything, from their interests to their place in a bigger story.

Our Story »

One School, One Future

River Valley Christian School was born out of a bold step of faith.

Westminster Christian School and Harvest Christian Academy spent years faithfully serving students, families, and the broader Elgin community. God opened a door, and we walked through it together.

Now we are one school, built on decades of experience, a rich legacy, and an exciting vision for what Christian education can look like in the Fox Valley.

— Psalm 1:3

“He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither — whatever they do prospers.”
