About the School:

Established in 2000 in Jarabacoa, La Vega. Dominican Republic. Jarabacoa Christian School was founded by a group of missionaries from the United States together with a local board of directors to make something from Jarabacoa for Jarabacoa. The school started as a small elementary school only and gradually grew throughout the years and we now have over 400 students from Pre-K 2 to 12th grade.

Jarabacoa Christian School (JCS) is a private, nonprofit, Christian bilingual (English and Spanish) school located in Jarabacoa, a small mountain town in the Dominican Republic.

JCS was established by the people of Jarabacoa for the people of Jarabacoa. Our motto is “Family, Faith, Future.”

Our Mission:

Our mission is to provide a bilingual and spiritual-based educational program in a family-oriented environment. We encourage students to develop critical thinking with a worldwide view by incorporating modern teaching techniques, which will enable them to achieve success and become better citizens.

Family:
Our maximum class size is 23 children, so every teacher knows each and every one of their students. 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 teach our students to respect others, to prepare for their future as Christians in the world, to teach them to live according to Christian 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 New Jersey (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 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.
