In March 2025, RIC had over fifty students enrolled in the three grades available at the Philadelphia Christian School in Chuukiyenú. The growth in numbers was undoubtedly due in large part to the groundwork laid by the Principal Raster Rasau and the team of new teachers who arrived in March 2025. Together, the team designed creative learning projects connected to interactions with their families. Thus, the team carried out a project week to review the learning outcomes of the first two quarters and build relationships with one another before moving into the following quarters. 

The creative programs of the project week included a collaboration with the Land Grant for schools, aimed at encouraging healthy local food recipes by cooking together with parents and students. Additionally, the First Presbyterian Church of Guam sent us over 50 cozy blankets for our students during the rainy season. 

By the end of the school year, the teachers at the Philadelphia Christian School successfully submitted their reports and final student evaluations to the Chuuk State Department of Education (DOE), resulting in the school’s acquisition of Charter Accreditation Status in July 2025.
