Ridgefield Christian School

Our Summer Care Program and all offices will be closed June 15-16. We will reopen on June 17.

We are pleased to welcome Alex Browning to the RCS Faculty Team as our Secondary Math Teacher. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Physics & Mathematics from the University of Arkansas.

Alex says "I've been blessed with the task of teaching Secondary Math at RCS in the upcoming school year. I received my Bachelor's degrees in Math and Physics from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, where I discovered my love for teaching and how having a deeper understanding of our universe can give us a deeper understanding of God. Outside of the classroom, you can find me shootin' hoops, playing music, cooking, or spending time with my family. Colossians 3:23"

We would like to welcome Allison Carter, our new middle school math teacher, to the RCS Faculty Team!
Allison majored in Middle-Level Education at Arkansas State University, with a strong commitment to helping others succeed. She believes in the power of encouragement and support, and is dedicated to creating a classroom environment where students feel valued, motivated, and confident. Allison's goal is to inspire young learners to reach their full potential academically and personally, while fostering a love for learning and growth. She is excited to be a positive influence and make a difference in the lives of students.

I am so excited to be joining the Ridgefield Christian School family this year I am passionate about teaching, coaching, and encouraging students both inside and outside the classroom. My goal is to create a positive and engaging learning environment where students feel supported academically, personally, and spiritually. I look forward to building meaningful relationships with my students and seeing all that God has in store this school year!

Please help us welcome Seth Downs, who recently joined the RCS Admin Team as our new Dean of Students.
Seth says: " I was born and raised a pastor’s kid in Cave City, AR. I’ve been married for 8 years and have 3 beautiful children. My work history includes ministry, higher education, and a lot of customer service. Currently, the Lord has blessed me to serve as director of Life Mission Ministries building an orphanage in Honduras. I hold a masters degree in Sports Administration and am passionate about running, being active with my children, and the San Antonio Spurs."
Mr. Downs, we are already so blessed and thankful to have you join the Team. Welcome to RCS!

We would like to extend a warm welcome to Claire Gould, our new (additional) 2nd Grade Teacher.
Claire says: "I am excited that the Lord has lead me back to RCS- this time as faculty. I graduated from RCS in 2016 and truly value Christian education. I have spent the last 6 years teaching 1st, 2nd, and 4th grade, and each year has shaped my love for helping students learn and helped me grow as an educator.

I’m excited to be a part of building a strong foundation of faith and learning in my students. I am looking forward to a wonderful year!"

We are pleased to welcome Taisha Kaspar to our Faculty Team as an additional 3rd Grade teacher (God is Good, and we are growing). Welcome Taisha!

Taisha Kaspar was born and raised in the small, rural town of Byesville, Ohio. She dated Lucas, her husband, throughout high school and was married the summer before her senior year of college. Taisha graduated from Muskingum University in 2010 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Special Education. She has worked in private and public schools in Alabama, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Arkansas as her husband pursued his education and career. Taisha has 15 years of teaching experience with 11 of those years in special education. Her favorite years include the 3 years she taught 2nd and 3rd grade at a private school and the year she homeschooled her middle son. Taisha’s greatest joy comes from mothering her four children who span from ages 3 to 15 years old and sharing her love of Jesus.
