Rehoboth Christian School is a private, parent-controlled Christian school in Rehoboth, New Mexico.
History
The school was started as Rehoboth Mission School in 1903[1] by Christian Reformed Church (CRC) missionaries to the Navajo and Zuni people. It was established on the 320-acres former Smith's Ranch, near Gallup, New Mexico, purchased by the CRC Board of Missions.[2] . It opened with six Navajo children aged 5 – 11. In the 1940s a high school was added.[3]
Today there are over 500 students in grades Pre K-12[4] In the 1970s, control transitioned to a local school board largely made up of Native American parents, and in 1973 the school’s name was changed from to Rehoboth Christian School.[3] In the 1990s, the dormitories were closed and bus transportation was provided for children within a 60-mile radius.
