Our
History
In the fall of 1959, after years of
planning, a group of dedicated parents from area Reformed
churches opened the doors of a new Christian school for
their children. They felt a sense of responsibility to
God, a sacred agreement or covenant with Him. These parents
wanted to "train up their children in the way they
should go" (Prov. 22:6), engaging in spiritual formation
together.
Their commitment extended to academic training
as well, heeding Christ's call in Matthew 22:37 to "Love
the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind." These founders understood
that the spiritual and intellectual facets of education
are not meant to compete with each other; rather they
bear equal weight and importance in producing responsible,
effective citizens of God's Kingdom.
Over the past 5 decades, San Jose Christian
School has held tightly to these core principles. The
Lord has blessed the school with students, teachers, parents,
administrators, and board members who lived out this mission
in a very tangible way. We thank our heavenly father for
His undying provision, and we celebrate the historical
success of SJCS.
