History

Our Redeemer's Lutheran Brethren Church began a kindergarten program in 1976, which led to the establishment of Our Redeemer's Christian School in 1982 with fifteen students. The school became a K-8 program in 1983 and a high school program was added in 1995.

The school is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).

Campus

The school has been housed with the church since the program's establishment. A new classroom and gymnasium building was dedicated in May 2001. The administrative offices, classroom space, chapel, and foyer were renovated in 2009.

Curriculum

The school places a strong focus on a biblical-based curriculum and teaching staff. Our Redeemer's Christian School was also one of the first schools in the state of North Dakota to implement a 7-12 grade Personal Learning Device initiative, with all students being issued their own tablet.

Extracurricular activities

Student activities include band, choir and student congress. The school's athletic teams, known as the Knights, compete in basketball, football (cooperatively with Berthold High School), golf, and volleyball.[2] Students may participate in other sports cooperatively with Minot Public Schools.
