What is RSC / ISC / JRSC?

ISC (International Student Convention), RSC (Regional Student Convention), and JRSC (Junior Regional Student Convention) are premier events and highlights of the school year for students in the Accelerated Christian Education program.

At RSC and ISC, students in grades 9–12 compete in music, oratory, art, athletics, academics, and service. With over 140 Christian competitions available, there is something to pique the interest of every student. Participating students gain invaluable lessons in dedication, patience, striving for excellence, and commitment while competing against peers from across the nation and the world.

At JRSC, younger students (grades 3–8) are introduced to the convention experience in a supportive and encouraging environment. They participate in age-appropriate competitions designed to help them discover their talents, build confidence, and prepare for future RSC and ISC opportunities.
