RCS High School Vision
Our Dream is to create a Christ-centered secondary campus in SE King County that will serve middle school and high school students. A school that will annually send out 100 graduates with a fully devoted relationship with Christ and a well-developed biblical worldview.
Why?
- Spiritual Need:
High School students need a Christ-centered educational option.
- Location Need:
Existing Christian high schools are not located to serve SE King County conveniently.
- Growth Need:
God has increasingly entrusted RCS with more families. We cannot expand on our current campus.
Where?
- 16 acres between Maple Valley and Covington.
- Easy access from HWY 18 off 256th St exit.
- Located on 204th Ave SE, which will become a main commuter arterial serving the fastest growing area of King County.
- 9 miles SE from current campus.
- Our desire is to create a transportation hub between campuses to assist in student transportation.
When?
- Our current target to open Phase 1 is the 2027-2028 school year. The exact school year will be announced when a firm open date is determined.
- We will offer a bridge option for one year prior to the initial year.
Cost Estimate?
- Initial cost estimates indicate all project phases will be around $50 million.
- Funding sources will include fundraising, applied savings, and long-term financing.
