Rippowam Cisqua School's mission is to create independent thinkers, confident communicators, and engaged leaders who respect and contribute meaningfully to a diverse and increasingly complex global society. Since 1917, PreK through Grade 9 students have benefited from a challenging academic program fueled by creativity and innovation, fine and performing arts, competitive athletics, and a wide selection of extracurricular activities. Today, the RCS community consists of over 5,000 graduates and their families, current families, and neighborhood partners. RCS school spirit lasts a lifetime, as demonstrated by the strong connections each student maintains with the community over the decades. Once a RippKid. Always a RippKid.
