Student Life at Ruby-Jo Education Centre 

With God’s Word as our foundation and guide, we seek to bring faith into every subject and activity here at Ruby-Jo Education Centre.  Faith, a personal and growing relationship with Jesus Christ, impacts the classroom, science lab, the rehearsal room, the stage, the athletic field, student’s worship hour and more, it’s central to who we are and what we do.  

Every student needs a platform to stand on, to call his or her own.  Extracurricular offers are areas to develop skill and character, extensions of learning beyond the classroom.  

At Ruby-Jo, there are plenty of opportunities for student involvement. Below are some of the activities, clubs, and organizations offered!
