From the Executive Director
Welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to check out the Rehoboth Christian School website. Welcome! Our school is an incredible place, and my Deep Hope is that everyone in our community finds welcome, connection, and belonging as they journey with us. I know that as you browse our site, you’ll get a taste of what we mean in our motto, “Vigorously Academic, Beautifully Diverse, and Thoroughly Christian.” Those aren’t just marketing words, but rather they serve as a summary of our very identity—a mantra that focuses our efforts and continues to point them in the direction of our mission.
The motivation for our work comes from the Word of God,the Bible, which tells us a bold, amazing, transformational story, a story that still continues today, and one in which we all play a role. Somewhere inside each of us lie some deep, essential questions about who we are and why we are here. The Bible holds the only true and fulfilling answers to those questions, and they are answers that will propel us to live fully into our identities as human beings. Our work at Rehoboth leads children into that beautiful story, and we invite each of you to join us.
As the executive director at Rehoboth Christian School, I couldn’t be more excited about the task to which God has called me. I firmly believe that if you explore our site, talk to our staff, or better yet, come for a visit, you will also fall in love with this incredible place and its people. Should you ever want to contact me for conversation, you can email me at dmeester@rcsnm.org or call my office phone at (505) 726-9623. I look forward to partnering with you.
In Christ,
Dan Meester
Executive Director
Rehoboth Christian School
Land Acknowledgement
Founded in 1903, Rehoboth Christian School was a mission of the Christian Reformed Church in North America. It has since taken on its own Board of Trustees and is now considered a parent-run school. Rehoboth’s location is called Tse Yaaniichii in Diné Bizaad, which means, “the place where the Red Rocks end.”
We need to protect and honor the history and people of this place. Rehoboth acknowledges that its work is being done on the ancestral lands of the Navajo, Zuni and other tribes. Our school has grown on this land to become a place of beautiful diversity. To work, learn, and thrive here, we must embrace the diverse nature of the school, take great pleasure in it, and set our minds to wrestle with our history and all the issues that come with diversity. We are committed to possessing and fostering a sense of cultural humility—the desire to know more, to learn, to wonder, and to celebrate the story of one another.
