As one Scholars begins a new chapter, another is already demonstrating what growth and faithfulness can produce.

The RHS 2025 Scholars recently completed their first academic year and returned for Year 2, Semester 1 with encouraging progress and exciting momentum. Their first year was marked not only by academic achievement, but also by remarkable growth in leadership, confidence, and character.

The students maintained an impressive average GPA of 65, significantly above the school average of 50. Behind these numbers are long hours of study, perseverance through challenges, and a deep commitment to maximizing the opportunity they have been given.

Yet what has been equally inspiring is the leadership journey taking shape outside the classroom.

Earlier this year, the students participated alongside the visiting Lifeshape Team from the United States, helping facilitate leadership sessions at Camp Brethren High School. Through this experience, they stepped into mentorship roles and began practicing servant leadership in real and practical ways.

Inspired by this experience, they have begun building something even bigger—a Leadership Academy Club at the university. What started as an idea has quickly grown into a movement. Students have already developed leadership structures, written a constitution, and attracted 31 interested members, including both RHS scholars and fellow university students.

Perhaps one of the most beautiful expressions of leadership has been the way the RHS 2025 students welcomed and mentored the incoming 2026 Scholars. They introduced them to the rhythms of university life, shared lessons learned from their first year, and modeled the values that define the RHS community.

By guiding the new students through shared responsibilities, household systems, and leadership principles, they demonstrated that leadership begins not on a stage, but in everyday acts of service.

We continue to thank God for the growth taking place within these young leaders and pray that He would continue shaping them into men and women who will impact the world around them.
