Graduates of RVA will have completed a high school education consistent with a biblical worldview and will demonstrate the skills necessary for life-long learning.“We rejoice that ultimately the spiritual success of our students does not rest in our hands but is determined by the will and work of God.” Recognizing that achieving this profile in the lives of the RVA students is an impossible task, we make the following disclaimer: To that end, the following statements were made about what the ‘Graduate Profile’ is and is not.Īn ideal toward which we direct the student.Ī tool to assess the extent to which we are accomplishing our vision.Ī tool to pass judgment on individual students. A concern from the outset was that this document not be a legalistic document or one that turns RVA into a factory producing the exact same product repeatedly. This document represents the ideal of what we hope our graduates will look like. There were two possible approaches to writing the Graduate Profile: to develop a document of graduate outcomes that all students should achieve, or to develop a document of the ideal graduate. RVA students think Biblically and develop intellectually:ġ.1.1 Understand Biblical truth and its applicationġ.1.2 Exhibit measurable academic growth, in knowledge and skills, across the academic programġ.1.3 Successfully access next-tier opportunities in line with their abilities and interests.ġ.2 RVA students express their gifts and talents in a God-honoring manner ġ.2.1 Discover their unique, God-given abilitiesġ.2.2 Intentionally develop their unique, God-given abilitiesġ.2.3 Share their unique, God-given abilitiesġ.3 RVA students live responsibly as individuals and in community:ġ.3.1 Manage their spiritual, physical, social and emotional health wellġ.3.2 Relate positively and compassionately with others including those of different age, position, ability and backgroundġ.3.3 Transition well as they move beyond RVA RVA Graduate ProfileĬompleted Jby the Graduate Profile Committee and the 2001 RVA Staff Revised by the AFG Planning Team and Approved October 2006 by the RVA School Board Major revision and alignment with Ends, January 2015 Use these videos and images to help you promote this opportunity on social media or in your church.Updated and Approved October 2015 by the RVA School Board1.0 AIM International members enabled to serve RVA students discipled toward their potential at a reasonable cost.ġ.

You would design, deliver, and evaluate quality instruction while meeting the needs of a diverse body of students. Could you join a team committed to providing a safe, loving and nurturing environment for students as they are discipled and educated towards their potential in Christ? An up to date list of current needs is available on the RVA website here. We’re looking for both primary and secondary school teachers to join Rift Valley Academy, AIM’s boarding school in Kenya. They serve about 500 missionary children representing 30 nationalities and 80 mission organizations and churches, and also accommodate a small number of Kenyan national students and expatriate, non-mission students. RVA is a Christian boarding school in central Kenya with over a hundred years of rich history. Could you use your teaching skills and experience to help missionary children learn at Rift Valley Academy in Kenya? Background
