Personalized Education

Each student is created in the image of God and therefore has intrinsic value, and the differences that make your student special should be celebrated.  At Rocky, our goal is to study how your student learns, and then teach them in that way.  Teachers explore the benefits of communicating in differing modalities to reach the broadest scope, capturing your student’s potential.  We offer opportunities to both advance academically and be supported in areas of academic vulnerability.  Your student is fearfully made, and we believe their educational experience can be just as unique.

Nurturing Environment

Our Christian school is like family, and our faculty and staff are committed to loving your kids the way that you do.  With small class sizes, intimate collaborative group settings, and flexible learning solutions, RBCS encourages deep relational bonds that extend outside of a traditional learning model.   Our staff has an eternal perspective, and that frames the atmosphere of Christian kindness, parental partnership, and trustworthy care you can expect from those who are called to minister to your students.

Biblical Worldview

Our target for your student is to produce a Christian grown up, able to be God’s man or woman wherever He calls them to serve.  The keys to success in this area are a focus on who God is, who your student is according to God’s definition, and how they fit into God’s plan for their lives.  These concepts are taught in every class, every day.  When your student is equipped to view life through the filter of scripture, their future decisions and the promise they hold have the possibility of changing the world, from right here in Northwest Florida.

RBCS has been a blessing to our kiddos and the community for years! The staff and faculty put the Lord first in everything they do. 

Miriam M.

– alumni

I was a Rocky Bayou lifer (K4-12th). I loved Rocky, but what I loved more was that it set me up for success. My undergrad and graduate programs were a breeze. Of the three schools, Rocky was the most challenging! I am so thankful my children also get the chance to attend Rocky! 

Tyler N. – current parent

Rocky is a wonderful place for kids to get a strong education, both academically and spiritually. In our current culture, education that places loving one another as God loves us is of utmost importance. The staff goes above and beyond. They are truly the hands and feet of Christ.

METEONOVA – Niceville UV Solar Activity Index by Hour for Two Days – Solar UV Index Forecast

What is ultraviolet and how does it affect health?

Since the early 1970s, there has been an increase in skin cancer cases. This was due to the individual habits of people in relation to being in the sun. It was believed that sunbathing is undoubtedly pleasant and useful. However, this is not the case, and excessive sun exposure leads to skin damage and an increased risk of cancer.

All people on the planet are exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Ultraviolet radiation (UV radiation or UV radiation) corresponds to the electromagnetic wave range with a wavelength of 100-400 nanometers and is divided into three classes:

• A 315-400 nm
• B 280-315 nm
• C 100-280 nm

As rays travel through the earth’s atmosphere, all UV-C rays and 90% of Class-B rays are absorbed by ozone, water vapour, oxygen and carbon dioxide. Thus, UV radiation reaching the Earth’s surface is A-class waves with a small number of B-class waves.

The intensity of UV radiation near the earth’s surface is affected by the following factors:

1. Sun height. The higher the Sun is above the horizon, the stronger the level of UV radiation. Thus, the level of radiation fluctuates from day to night and from winter to summer. The highest levels are reached around noon during the summer months. So, 60% of the radiation comes between about 11 and 15 hours of the day local time.
2. Latitude. The closer to the equator, the higher the level of UV radiation
3. Cloud cover. The level of UV radiation is higher when the sky is cloudless, but even with some cloudiness, the radiation can be strong due to reflection from clouds, thus creating scattered sources of radiation. Thin clouds can transmit up to 90% of UV rays.
4. Altitude above sea level. At higher altitudes, the atmosphere is thinner and absorbs less UV radiation from the Sun. Every 1000 meters, the UV level increases by about 10%.
5. Ozone. Ozone absorbs some of the UV radiation that would otherwise reach the Earth’s surface. The concentration of ozone in the atmosphere fluctuates both during the year and within one day.
6. Ground reflection. UV radiation is reflected or scattered to varying degrees by different surfaces. For example, snow reflects up to 80%, dry sand about 15%, and sea foam up to 25%. People indoors receive 10-20% UV radiation compared to people outdoors. People in the shade receive approximately 50% of the exposure.

Small doses of ultraviolet radiation are beneficial to humans, especially in the production of vitamin D. UV rays are also used to treat certain diseases such as rickets, psoriasis and eczema. This requires medical supervision, and the benefit of treatment versus harm from UV rays is determined by the treating physician.

Prolonged exposure of a person to UV radiation can cause acute and chronic damage to the skin, eyes, and immune system. Sunburn and tanning are the most well-known effects of skin damage from UV radiation. In the long term, this leads to cell destruction, fibrous tissue formation, vascular damage and premature skin aging. UV radiation can also lead to eye inflammation and photokeratitis.

Chronic diseases include two broad groups: skin cancer and cataracts. Between 2 and 3 million cases of skin cancer are recorded every year. Between 12 and 15 million go blind from cataracts. According to the WHO, up to 20% of cases are associated with excessive exposure to the sun, especially in India, Pakistan and other countries of the “cataract belt” located close to the equator.

Moreover, there are suggestions that UV radiation may increase the risk of developing infectious diseases and reduce the effect of vaccinations.

People’s habits of sun exposure as much as possible may be responsible for the rise in skin cancer cases in recent decades. An increase in the frequency of outdoor activities and the desire to sunbathe lead to an increase in the duration of exposure to UV rays. Unfortunately, many people still consider prolonged sunbathing to be normal, and a tanned look is regarded as a sign of activity and good health. This is especially dangerous for children, as their skin is more delicate and sensitive to lesions.

What is the UV Index?

The Global Solar UV-Index (UVI, UV-index, UVI) is a simple measure of the level of ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth’s surface, and at the same time an indicator of potential skin damage. It is intended to alert people to the need for protective measures when they are out in the sun. The UV index was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in cooperation with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, and the Federal Radiation Protection Service of Germany.

The UV Index describes the level of solar ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth’s surface. The higher the index value, the greater the potential risk of damage to the skin and eyes, and the less time it takes for this to happen.

The marked increase in skin cancer cases worldwide among fair-skinned people is clearly related to increased exposure to the sun or use of tanning beds. Recent studies show that people’s habits of being in the sun for a long time lead to an increase in the number of UV radiation injuries. UVR warns people of the risks of prolonged UV exposure and recommends the use of protective equipment when needed.

Basic sun protection

• Avoid sun exposure between 12 and 2 pm
• Look for shady places
• Wear closed clothing
• Wear a wide-brimmed hat that covers your eyes, face, and neck from the sun.
• Wear sunglasses that cover your eyes completely.
• Use sun screens and awnings
• Avoid tanning beds

Protect children and teenagers from the sun – this is very important!

The UV index ranges from 0 to 13, with higher values ​​corresponding to higher exposure. Even for very sensitive skin with UVR values ​​less than 3, the risk of short-term and long-term damage is minimal, and no protection is required under normal conditions. Above level 3, protection is required and must be further enhanced for levels 8 and above.
