If AI can produce complex computer programming, solve illusive mathematical problems, and pass the Bar exam, why do students need to learn to think critically? Most people agree that students need to learn how to think critically, but there is little agreement on what it means to “think critically” or why students should develop these skills... click here to read more.

All Rejoice students (with the exception of K4 students who apply for Kindergarten) are continuously enrolled from year to year. Please mark your calendars with these important upcoming dates, and watch for additional information about enrollment and withdrawal deadlines coming soon.

Have you ever thought about substitute teaching?

Now is the perfect time to get involved! Subbing is a rewarding way to make a difference in the lives of our students while spending time in the school with your own child, experiencing the classroom environment firsthand, and building meaningful relationships with our incredible teachers and staff. Even serving a few days can make a BIG difference!

Not able to sub yourself?

You can still help by spreading the word to friends, family members, or anyone who might be interested in joining our substitute team.

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who helped make my 50th birthday so incredibly special. From the shirts with my picture on them to those who dressed up to look like me, to the balloons, gifts, kind words, and countless expressions of love, I was truly overwhelmed. The morning was such a wonderful blur, and unfortunately, I had to leave early before I could properly thank everyone. Please know how deeply touched I was by your thoughtfulness and generosity. If you gave me a gift and I didn't get the chance to properly thank you personally, please let me know. I would truly love that opportunity. I feel very blessed to be part of this school family. You made turning 50 something I will never forget.

With heartfelt gratitude, Mr. Cole

Students are encouraged to wear western wear on November 4 in honor of Will Rogers' birthday.

Thank you to these pastors for joining us and for the ways you pour into our kids!

After assessing interest among our students and staff, here are the new opportunities for connection and growth we plan to offer once a week at no cost to RCS students (with the exception of our new Tippi Toes dance program). You will receive more information about meeting times, registration, and participation details in the weeks to follow.

We’re excited to explore bringing Tippi Toes dance classes to Rejoice for students in K3, K4, Kindergarten, and 1st grade! These 45-minute classes would introduce students to ballet, tap, and jazz while providing a fun opportunity to learn new skills and enjoy movement together. Classes would be held on Thursdays from 3:30–4:15 pm, with tuition of $80 per month and a $55 annual registration fee.


Tippi Toes has also offered to provide a free trial/demo class so interested students can experience the program before families decide whether to enroll. The demo date and time are still being determined, and details will be shared once confirmed. Attending the demo does not require a commitment to future classes.

If your family would like to learn more, please complete the Google interest form linked below. Your responses will help us gauge interest and plan next steps. This is an interest form only, not a registration form, and completing it does not commit your family to classes or any fees. We look forward to hearing from you!

If you have a child who will be attending Rejoice for the first time next year, new student applications for 27-28 opened on October 15 and are on our website at www.rejoiceschool.com. If you have any questions, reach out to the Admissions Department at admissions@rejoiceschool.com.

No current RCS students need to complete an application, as they are continuously enrolled at Rejoice (the exception is all K4 students who are applying to move from the preschool to the upper schools.)
