Become a Master Builder
Are you a man or woman of action? In the traditional Christian understanding, the term Zion means the City of God—a community of the pure in heart. Rockbridge Creative Institute is more than a school. It is an institution bounded by faith. We believe that all people are supposed to use their hands, hearts and minds to serve God. We focus on the building trades to help young people become creative entrepreneurs, leaders of a profitable enterprise, and builders of strong families.
Who will build Zion? You will.
Build A Profitable Enterprise
This is both your education and your business startup.
Part of the RCI experience is to build your business. It should be a seamless step into having your own clients upon graduation (and before graduation), as you will have the knowledge, the tools, and the experience. And RCI will be a continued resource for knowledge, networking, and support.
A Campus That Inspires
Discover a unique educational experience at Rockbridge Creative Institute in Buena Vista, where the rugged beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains meets artisanal craftsmanship.
Beyond the classroom, immerse yourself in a supportive community that values connection, dedication, and friendship. When your hands aren’t at work, enjoy outdoor adventures on 300,000 acres of mountains and trails, including lake swimming, biking paths, and even the chance to cruise in a boat you built by your own hands. With downtown Buena Vista within walking distance, there’s plenty to do —whether it’s a swing dancing club, attending shows and performances by local talented artists, or connecting with like-minded peers in an area designed for community. Buena Vista offers a welcoming, tight-knit atmosphere for students to thrive and form lasting relationships, both professionally and personally.
