Mr. Delgado's World Travelers
In July of 2013 the Headmaster approved Mr. Delgado's proposal to begin a World Travelers program at River City Christian School. This program is geared primarily for students taking World History or Art History as special emphasis will be made within those courses on the geography, art, culture, literature and history of the specific areas of travel. However, the program is offered to students taking any course with Mr. Delgado grades 10th-12th. The first trip taken by the World Travelers was June 16-25, 2014. Seventeen travelers accompanied Mr. Delgado to London, Paris, Venice and Rome.
In June of 2015 Mr. Delgado took six students to Spain. They traveled to Barcelona, Valencia, Granada, the Costa del Sol, Seville, Cordoba and Madrid. Please see the following video for pictures...

It is the belief of Mr. Delgado that the best way to experience the culture of other societies and civilizations is to travel and see them first hand. Only through the personal interaction between individuals can one truly appreciate other cultures for what they're worth. One of the goals of the RCCS History Department is to foster an appreciation for all cultures within God's Kingdom and to see how God's divine plan flows through all of His creation. Reading and studying within the traditional walls of a classroom will only allow a student to go so far in exploring The Kingdom. However, getting out into the world and having a real life interaction with other cultures breaks down barriers and transforms the world into the classroom.
