Runnymede School is an all male year round Christian boarding school for ages 9 thru 14 who are having behavioral, academic and emotional problems. They use biblical counseling and offer a disciplined, structured, and purposeful lifestyle that strives to reform destructive behavior.
In 2010, Bob Brandon founded Runnymede. He is currently serving as the Executive Director with over 20 years of experience working with young people in a variety of different settings. He has a B.S. degree in Social Science from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, Ca. Bob has worked as an educator for over fifteen years in both private and public settings and he has successfully started an academic school while working at a teenage boarding school.
The students enroll at various times throughout the school year and the program is able to insure each student receives a personalized curriculum upon admission. Although coursework is designed in a tutorial fashion students receive individualized instruction in all if the core classes plus many extra classes unique to Runnymede School such as physical education, music, church history, Latin, agriculture, wood shop, horticulture, biblical economics, small business basics, basic auto, bible. Students are encouraged to work at a faster pace than a typical school.
The program is very small enrolling four students thus providing for individual one on one counseling. Daily biblical counseling and weekly church attendance in a family centered church starts each week off. The young men are given a garden plot and learn all about organic farming by tending his own garden. Profits from his garden will be shared with the student to teach the value of labor and to include students in community relationship building.
