MISSION OF JCS

Johnstown Christian School provides Christian families with a Christ-centered education which prepares their children spiritually, academically, and socially to live for the glory of God.

Students will be prepared spiritually in their commitment to Christ and their development of a Christian world and life view, academically with a quality curriculum, and socially through the development of Godly character traits.

About JCS
Johnstown Christian School was founded in 1944 by a group of Mennonite families who were concerned about the spiritual growth and development of their children. The school was reorganized in 1973 as the Johnstown Christian School to better reflect the broader Christian community of the Johnstown area that is being served.

Today more than 280 students in kindergarten through 12th grade attend traditional classes taught by committed Christian teachers who are state- and ACSI-certified.

Accreditation
Johnstown Christian School is accredited by both the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and by the Association of Christian Schools International.
