Rehoboth Christian School is an independent, parent-controlled Christian school in Rehoboth, New Mexico.
Rehoboth Christian School was started by missionaries from the Christian Reformed Church (CRC) who came to the Southwestern United States in 1896 to bring the Gospel to the Navajo and Zuni people. The current location, the 320-acre former Smith's Ranch, east of Gallup, New Mexico, was purchased in 1903 by the CRC Board of Missions. The new mission was named Rehoboth, referring to Genesis 26:22, and was opened in December 1903, with six Navajo children, ranging in ages 5 – 11 as its first students. By 1917, there were 100 students, and by the end of the 1940s a high school was added. Today Rehoboth has 498 students in grades Pre K-12. In the 1970s, the CRC Board of Missions began to reduce its control and financial support for the school with responsibility resting on a local school board largely made up of Native American parents. The school’s name was changed from Rehoboth Mission School to Rehoboth Christian School. In the 1990s, the dormitories were closed and an extensive bus transportation system was developed so children living within a 60-mile radius could attend Rehoboth Christian School.
The entire campus is approximately 162 acres (660,000 m2) in size.
