Student Room & Board at Red Bird

Located in the middle of the Daniel Boone National Forest, the mountains provide a glorious setting for our dormitories and school. The beauty of God’s glorious handiwork is available for all to see and enjoy season after season!

Our academic and dormitory programs exist thanks to God’s blessings through student families, alumni, friends, churches, and individual contributions.
