RBS is a residential Christian discipleship school for youth who are awaiting entrance to Form 6, college or university, or are on break from college or university. It is run with the goal of:

​

• INSPIRING you to a heartfelt and committed devotion to God;

• INSTRUCTING you in His Word in the fundamentals of your faith, so that you might grow to become a mature, thinking Christian rather than a spoon-fed one;

• INVOLVING you in practical service for God through the missions trips so that you may experience first-hand God working through you and in you.

​
RBS is run in the format of a school rather than a camp. It is designed to be a memorable once-in-a-lifetime experience, where the focus is on discipleship based on the Word of God as the foundation for all aspects of our life. As such, applicants must meet the minimum prerequisites, which are:
​

• a born-again believer in Jesus Christ;

• endorsed by a leader of his/her local church (applications are open to students from both Brethren and non-Brethren churches);

• willing to study hard and complete all assignments, participate in all RBS activities, and abide by the RBS rules as directed by the Principal;

• proficient in English, which will be the medium of instruction for classes, activities and assignments.

RBS will take mostly place at the Highlands Christian Centre in Cameron Highlands. Students must attend the entire duration of the school (with exception provided only for family emergencies and in-person scholarship/entrance interviews).
​
Please note that while you are allowed to bring a handphone with you to use while you travel, you will be required to surrender it to the staff on the first night for the entire duration of the school. Communal phones for the shared use of students will be made available during selected periods in the day during the course of the school for you to remain in contact with family and friends.
   
The fee for attending RBS is as follows:
​

• RM2,000 per person for applicants from Brethren churches (You will be required to pay RM1,000. The balance of RM1,000 will be paid by your church.)

• RM2,300 per person for applicants from non-Brethren churches

 

(Student fees alone are never enough to cover the costs of running RBS. Both Brethren and non-Brethren students are heavily subsidised by funds contributed by Brethren churches and supporting donors in order to make the student fees affordable, the subsidy being of course higher for those from Brethren churches.)

The fee covers all materials, accommodation and meals during the length of the school, personal accident insurance and transport to and from your mission trip destinations. The fee does not cover your own transportation to Cameron Highlands at the start of RBS and your transportation home from Petaling Jaya after RBS ends (which you will have to organise on your own). You will also need to bring some spending money for other expenses you may incur during RBS (e.g. laundry, own food/drink, book purchases, etc), typically in the region of RM150-250. Please take note that all students are required to purchase one book (approximately RM40-60) for a book report during RBS. If you are sending your clothes for laundry, you should typically allocate about RM60 for this in total.
​
Financial constraints should not stand in the way of those who truly desire to attend RBS. Contact your church leaders to see if they might be able to help. If you still require assistance, then please do contact us, letting us know of your financial situation.​
