About Remnant Preparatory School
Remnant Preparatory School (RPS), founded in 2015, is an accredited K–12 online private Christian school designed to expand the ways your child learns. Our certified teachers meet with students in real-time and provide individualized support while igniting their passions to gain the life skills they need to grow academically and spiritually to thrive in this modern world and the world to come. RPS provides a high-quality, personalized education experience to students in the United States and abroad (Internationally) in a live-virtual classroom – direct student/teacher interaction wherever they are.
The main office in the United States, RPS, is owned and operated by a Self-Supported Seventh-day Adventist educational ministry.
God has blessed RPS with branch offices in other countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, the Philippines, and Bulgaria (coming soon). For RPS students, the classroom is in the home, in the natural beauty of nature, in local churches, in homeschool community groups, or on the mission field. Wherever an internet connection is accessible is your child’s classroom.
RPS creates an environment that encourages a positive, supportive, Christ-like setting that promotes student’s spiritual growth, self-esteem, and sense of security.

RPS serves as an umbrella-school facilitator for parents who are homeschooling their children. The traditional homeschool plan option provides the service of a facilitator who closely monitors the student’s academic performance through portfolio evaluations conducted twice a year. This great option enables parents to comply with government guidelines regarding home education and preside over their child’s education.
RPS ENCOURAGES HOMESCHOOL PARENTS TO DO THE FOLLOWING:
- Pray with your child before and after each teaching session.
- When homeschooling, it is crucial to establish a clean environment with limited distractions so your child can study with limited disruptions and be on a regular schedule.
- Study routines are valuable for learning discipline. They also help your child stay on track with weekly, monthly, and yearly academic goals.
- Create a schedule and expect your child to stick to it. Modify the schedule when necessary to help your child stay challenged while still able to achieve your expectations.
