Reformation International College (RIC)
Reformation International College: Reformation International College (RIC) began in 1996 and offers a Bachelor of Arts in Education (B.A.Ed.) program, offered to students in the United States and abroad who wish to meet the educational requirements not only for Christian schools, but also other public and private schools which require Teacher’s Certification. Reformation International College’s B.A.Ed. program originally was designed to meet all the State of Florida Department of Education requirements for students who desire to take the Teacher’s Certification exam. We have had several graduates throughout the years, many of them now teaching at our Christian school, Christian Liberty Academy, in Suriname, South America.
Why another Christian college? The answer, quite simply, is to offer a unique perspective and program that is distinctly biblical and confessionally Reformed, in the heritage of the Protestant Reformation which so transformed the world, especially Western Civilization. Our goal is to offer a consistently Reformed alternative to liberalism, broad evangelicalism, secular humanism, Christian surrender, functional ignorance, dependence upon business, advertising and sociological engineering to build Christ’s church. We also seek to counter the ethical chaos which forms the base of so much of college “education” today. Many people enroll in college specifically to enhance their prospect of securing suitable employment. This is understandable and commendable, and our B.A.Ed. can help with that. Yet the prime objective of the Reformation International College programs is life preparation. That is, our goal is to give our graduates a solid foundation in the Christian Faith and its application to all of life.
