Bridging the Gap

Premier Education for University and Life Readiness

The Rancho Christian School Foundation is dedicated to raising funds and providing essential support for the sustainability and growth of Rancho Christian School.

Tuition covers 92% of the costs and funds raised through the Foundation close the gap between tuition and the premier educational experience.

At Rancho Christian, we prepare students to be both university-ready and life-ready through Christlike care. By investing in our students’ futures, we foster a community of successful, confident, and Christ-centered leaders.
