Redeemer School

What Redeemer School does

Redeemer School is a private, nonprofit Christian school serving approximately 250 students across Transitional Kindergarten through 8th grade, organized into a Lower School (TK-5) and Middle School (6-8), with 19 classes and roughly 50 faculty and staff. Founded in 1995 by families in Winston-Salem, NC, the school operates from a single campus at 1013 Melrose Street and is governed by a Board of Directors under a policy governance model with parent/grandparent/alumni moral owners.

The school's core product is a Charlotte Mason-inspired educational program built on living books, narration, nature study, picture and composer study, copybooks, and a Book of Centuries, with biblical worldview integration across all subjects. Supporting programs include the ROOTS program for students with learning differences, the READ (Redeemer Exploration and Discovery) after-school extended-care program for TK-3rd grade, E-Days parent-led enrichment, and an annual Shakespeare Festival. The tech stack is conventional for K-8 private schools: FACTS/RenWeb for SIS and admissions, BSN Sports for spirit-wear ecommerce, and Storyglory Kids for book fairs.

Revenue is generated through three channels: recurring tuition (primary), tiered subscription pricing for the READ extended-day program ($675-$2,727/year), and donations/sponsorships (including Monarch Level sponsors from local businesses). The go-to-market is predominantly word-of-mouth referrals, with a structured three-step admissions process (inquiry, visit, apply) and a January 31 priority deadline. A new Head of School, Tim Hilliard, takes office in August 2026, succeeding Loryn Faile.
