RFIS has a vision to flourish as an international school with missionally-minded staff that develops students who are sincere followers of Christ, who are well-balanced with healthy priorities, who are educationally qualified, and who understand, respect, and adjust appropriately to other cultures.

While students are not required to make a profession of faith in Christ, they are expected to be respectful of Christian beliefs, attend a weekly chapel service and complete Bible courses at their respective grade level.

RFIS director, Mrs. Elizabeth Marti, and her family have served in various roles in missions with SIL Global in Africa for almost twenty years. Her time in Congo-Brazzaville, DR Congo, Central African Republic and Cameroon as a Bible translation consultant, administrator and country director have given her the experience necessary to serve the RFIS community well.
