A Legacy of Excellence

At Renton Prep we believe that tools are only as effective as the people who use them. We are passionate about providing an inclusive and safe environment that guides students as they grow and struggle to find their own identity. Renton Prep is a community guided by Christian values that does more than educate. We help young minds grow into the best possible version of themselves, so that they can tackle the challenges of both a modern society and a modern economy.

Research-based Learning Practices

Renton Prep is fully committed to integrating the best teaching and learning practices from research-based discoveries that are emerging from the learning science fields of neuroscience, psychology, and education. We are interested in connecting cognition, neuroscience, and educational practice, especially involving learning, teaching, and cognitive and emotional development.

Mission

“To offer a secure environment in a technology enabled Christ-Centered School where students learn to use their voice to contribute solutions to the challenges of our global community.”
We encourage students to discover their own identity through an education based on Christian values while engaging in discussions from multiple perspectives. Critical thinking and problem solving help our students acquire the ability and skills needed to succeed in relationships and careers. We believe in inspiring learners to engage in productive struggle as individuals and collaborators so they learn how to view daily obstacles and challenges as a positive and necessary part of living.

Vision

“To inspire a passion for harnessing emerging technology for teaching, learning, critical thinking and sharing the hope of becoming responsible and productive citizens, whose legacy will leave the world a better place.”
A technology enabled education means more than incorporating devices in the classroom. Success in the technologically advanced economy requires more than a simple education. It requires an education built with modern tools. As technology advances, so does our approach, while keeping the values consistent and building a legacy through the talent and voice of students, teachers, and a global audience. Training both thinking skills and flexibility helps students, teachers, and collaborators advance ideas to put them into action.

Action

“By providing a well rounded; technology enabled Christian education.”
However, success in the technologically advanced economy requires more than a simple education. It requires an education built with modern tools.

At Renton Prep, we understand that a technology enabled education means more than incorporating computers in the classroom.

The approach we use to carry out our mission in order to accomplish our vision is very simple. It stems from Christ’s life and ministry, which then became our six core values –C.H.R.I.S.T.
