Welcome To Rhein International Academy!
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of Rhein International Academy is to provide experiences that will educate students in all dimensions of life: intellectual, spiritual, physical, social and emotional. We wish to instill in each student a character-based worldview in an environment of academic excellence and a respect for people of all cultures and religions.
OUR PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
Rhein International Academy believes strongly in a learning environment that is disciplined, academically strong, and character-based, where ethics and values are important elements to a child's development, where the whole child is educated and where the teachers are the living model of good character. The educational philosophy of RIA is based on a God-centered view that all truth is God’s truth, and that the Bible is the inspired, authoritative word of God.
The school is a private non-profit school established to primarily serve the international community through quality education with a strong emphasis on ethics and morality. RIA is a member school of the Network of International Christian Schools (NICS), which has schools in many countries around the world. Our membership with NICS allows us to draw upon the knowledge and experiences of the other member schools.
RIA commits itself to minister to each student holistically. Therefore, its program is directed toward individual development and enrichment in the following areas: intellectual, physical, moral, spiritual, and social. Students are taught the analytical thinking skills that will facilitate their adaptability to a changing world. In addition, students are taught to be life-long learners through independent thinking, exploration and healthy experimentation. The areas of citizenship training, character development, personal values, and ethics are also vital parts of our program.
At Rhein International Academy, it is understood that the people of all cultures, customs and religions will be treated with respect. Our host country of Germany, the countries surrounding it and the nations from which our students come are incorporated into our curriculum to help our students develop as well-rounded world citizens. While RIA espouses and teaches a Christian worldview, we believe that a student’s worldview is to be chosen by each individual and respected by others.
