Ricks Institute

The overall life at Ricks Institute is directed by Christian spiritual life. This is evidenced in the daily rhythms of our school community. Students are encouraged, challenged, and nurtured by faculty, administrators, staff, coaches, dorm supervisor, alumni, speakers, and their friends and classmates to become responsible followers of Jesus Christ.

The integration of faith and learning in the classroom, daily school devotion, and chapel services all serve to help foster individual growth in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Students are required to attend daily devotions and chapel services. They hear from guest speakers, the Ricks Institute faculty and their peers on a wide range of topics.

In addition, Boarding students are required to attend formal Sunday worship services and daily dormitory devotions. Each semester, the school observes Spiritual Emphasis Week when a guest speaker addresses the students in a series of services for a week.

Students are encouraged to get involved in mission and service projects.
