Racine Christian School open house Feb. 23

Racine Christian School will hold an open house for new families on Tuesday, Feb. 23, from 6-7:30 p.m. Families may tour the facility, meet the teachers and enjoy story time plus an art project and snacks. Racine Christian is located at 912 Virginia St., at the corner of Ohio Street and Kinzie Avenue.

The school offers Christian education for Kindergarten through 8th graders. In standardized testing, students on average score several years beyond their actual grade level. Classes are smaller, with discipline and dedicated teachers. More than 40 different Christian churches are represented by school’s families.

Racine Christian employs a “whole child” philosophy toward education. “We use a triangle approach, with the child in the center, and home, school, and church at points surrounding him,” says Principal Dave VanSwol. “All points work together in supporting a child’s development and success - including moral character, education, and behavior.”

The open house will allow families to sign up for Kindergarten Roundup March 3, the date of placement testing for kindergarten readiness. Further information is available from Dave VanSwol at 262/634-0961. The school’s website is RacineChristianSchool.com.
