ALL ABOUT JCS!
MOTTO
Family:
Our student body ranges from 220 to 250 students each year, grades PK-2 through 12th grade. One of our goals is to provide a higher level of education to any student who desires academic excellence, while maintaining a close, familial environment in which students can develop academically, socially, and personally.
Faith:
JCS believes that the purpose of education is to train our students to respect authority, to prepare for their future as Christians in the world, to teach them character values, and to develop them into future good citizens. The character values we emphasize at JCS include the following: patience, compassion, humility, solidarity, perseverance, forgiveness, self-control, honesty, and responsibility.
Future:
The students of JCS receive instruction according to the rigorous academic standards of the Engage NY Common Core (U.S.A.) and the Dominican Ministry of Education curriculum. In this way, our students will be prepared for university, whether in the Dominican Republic or in the United States.
Our small class sizes allow teachers to develop lesson plans according to the academic needs of each student to provide an effective learning environment.

heritage
Jarabacoa Christian School (JCS) was founded June 12, 2000 by Dr. Philip Redwine as a gift to the people of Jarabacoa. JCS was approved by the President of the Dominican Republic on August 4, 2000. JCS is a private, non-profit, college preparatory Christian school. JCS provides the highest quality, American-style education that our resources will permit. JCS seeks to provide the opportunity for its students to come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ as their personal savior. JCS began in 2000 by offering elementary level schooling. We have since grown and as of the school year beginning August 2007, we offer preschool (PK-2) through 12th grade (high school)
