Preliminary Input for New Directions for an Independent School: Richmond Christian School

The Richmond Christian School (RCS), an independent school located in Richmond, British Columbia, has experienced tremendous growth over the last few years. It is looking for ways to sustain its success and better manage the future demands. This, coupled with the plans from the BC Ministry of Education to reform education in the province, resulted in a need for RCS to carefully consider all its options. To do so, the RCS Board of Trustee is preparing to develop a Strategic Plan. This report serves as preliminary input to this initiative. The research and analysis performed include: defining key elements for RCS, gathering comments and feedback from various stakeholders and articulating strategic options for the Board of Trustees to consider. The intention is to generate good discussions and provide ideas to assist in developing an all-inclusive Strategic Plan for RCS.
