Attending Rio is your passport to a greater understanding of other cultures. With students from more than 10 different countries, Rio’s student body is rich with cultures and various life experiences. Creating multicultural awareness and inclusion helps our students succeed and encourages empathy while preparing them to thrive in an exponentially diverse world.

Rio’s active campus is filled with leadership opportunities.

Whether it’s serving other students as an officer of the Student Association, or leading a worship music group, Rio’s atmosphere allows students to learn by leading.

In the dorms, Residents Assistants and other leaders offer help, support, and Bible studies to students. On the field, students lead each other in football, soccer, and other sports.

Students regularly speak for church, vespers, and during Week of Prayer, testifying to what God is doing in their lives.

Rio students also learn leadership skills and responsibility through the work program. Most students work between 8 to 12 hours each week, contributing to their tuition as well as gaining valuable work experience.

Rio is a place where learning never stops and where exploration is encouraged. Students enter as children, but leave as adults, prepared for their next adventure - in college and in life.

“Going to Rio is great because it helps you grow. Rio brought out leadership skills in me that I did not even know I had.”

— Joyleen Mabika, Class of 2016
