Go to child profileFounded in 1905, Rosthern Junior College (RJC High School) has a strong reputation for delivering well-rounded academic experiences to students for over 100 years. RJC offers Grades 10-12, and is accredited by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education and a member of the Saskatchewan Association of Historical High Schools; holding a high standard of education. As a high school that teaches from the Christian perspective, RJC places value on faith, service, leadership, and community in the education of its students.
What learning looks like now: Over the past several weeks RJC High School has successfully shifted to an online and distance learning program to ensure that our students are able to continue their studies and meet their academic goals. Utilizing internet-based platforms and virtual tools, learning spaces now exist for students to engage. with school remotely. While it has always been true that RJC offers far more than academics, the current crisis is an inflection point that brings that to the fore. Right now, our students need comfort and compassion. We have prioritized regular connections with teachers and classmates through weekly chapels, phone call check-ins, and virtual choirs. We have already observed a positive impact on student well-being through initiatives like this. Ultimately, this student-oriented approach to online and distance earning ensures that RJC is nurturing the development of the whole student in the context of a supportive, Christ-centred community.

The main school building
Rosthern Junior College began in 1905 with one teacher and eight students and a desire to fill a need within the Mennonite community. It’s grown in every way, though remains true to the initial goal of educating students through their interests and through their faith. One aspect of RJCs development that the founders perhaps couldn’t have foreseen in 1905 is the extension of the offering to international students, who now make up 15% of the student population, adding a unique perspective to the lived experience of the school. While half of the population of the school is Mennonite, the other half includes other denominations and non-denominational students, all drawn by the range of programs on offer, the personal focus, a dedication to service learning and character development. Classes are small, with lots of personal attention, which students rightly appreciate. Faculty make it a priority to take learning out of the classroom, and to build relationships with the community, something that has become a focus of the programming. Students are encouraged not only to excel academically, but also to apply their skills, abilities, and time to making a difference in the world.
