We exist to be a community of learners who love God and serve others.

C. F. Richards Christian School wants every learner to excel in faith, learning, and service; this is done by blending biblical truth and academic achievement to honor God and bless others.

At C. F. Richards Christian School, we value:

• Each person’s journey in developing a relationship with Jesus Christ
• Having a community focus and becoming passionate stewards of humanity
• Partnering with families and churches in preparing learners for responsible citizenship
• Developing students to become life-long learners that are grounded and confident in their beliefs
• Encouraging learners to become critical thinkers and problem solvers
• Fostering growth through vigorous independent and collaborative learning

Christ-centered education and academic excellence in a diverse, safe, and loving environment are the cornerstones of C.F. Richards.

C. F. Richards Christian School is a ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.

The Staunton and Waynesboro are constituent churches and Buena Vista is a contributing church.
