What makes Jesse Remington High School, a 50 student Christian day school nestled into rural New Hampshire, a special place to spend the high school years?

• JRHS is a demanding and meaningful classical curriculum filled with insightful, thought provoking material for students to engage with.

JRHS is families committed to a dynamic and meaningful experience for their children, one that will assist them in the task of raising up a child that is effective and pleasing to God.

• A missions trip to Montreal or Washington, where students put their growing faith into action in the soup kitchen, food pantry, drug rehab center, or on the street evangelizing. A cultural trip to Rome, London, Paris, or Vienna that offers the students the first hand experience with the history and culture they have been studying.

• Or maybe a long day hike up one of NH's most challenging peaks in the northern White Mountains where students take perseverance to a new level as they tackle Madison, Jefferson, Washington or Adams.

• Or it might be the multitudes of walks about our 10 acre campus where lifetime friendships are made.

• For others, it might be the small business training they get by working with the public through the Sugar Shack Project, or building a barn for a customer.

• For several students each year, it's the soccer, basketball or rifle team where the competition is high.

• The weekly Chapel experience at JRHS is a seminal experience, where students gather in our circular chapel for praise and worship, prayer and teachings.

• Jesse Remington is a place to grow, which means a place to try new things and occasionally stumble or fail. The loving, caring and nurturing staff of our school facilitates profound growth. These are just some of the attributes of a Jesse Remington Education. JRHS is place for high school students to grow in their faith and knowledge of God, their attributes of Christian living, their knowledge and understanding of our world, and in the essential skills of life.
