A Journey Of Discovery
Exploring God’s World And Your Place In It
A refuge for learning
Welcome to Rivendell School, where discovery is at the heart of everything we do. We are a Christ-centered, relational community, guiding students as they explore God’s world and prepare for a life of purpose and service.
A home for adventurers
Inspired by Tolkien’s Rivendell—a place of rest, wisdom, and preparation for great journeys—our school serves as a ‘last homely house’ for young adventurers. Here, students consider who they are, what they love, and what they’re called to do in the world.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Imagine
Learning comes alive as we engage the imagination and invite students to enter a story greater than themselves.
Belong
Your involvement isn’t just welcome, it is essential. Together we nurture growth and foster a sense of belonging.
Consider
Awakening of minds and hearts through rich conversations and careful reflection.
Discover
Equipping Adventurers to think deeply, live compassionately, and act courageously as they explore God’s world and their place in it.
Wonder
We provoke questions and delight in pursuing answers together, so that students experience the joy of learning.
