WHO WE ARE
Founded in 1992, JRHS is a regional 9-12 Christian high school, featuring both college and career preparatory programs, exemplified in our traditional and project curricula. Our motto, We Are More Than Conquerors, permeates the spiritual, intellectual, social and aesthetic pursuits of JRHS.
OUR MISSION
JRHS is a Christian Community of Students and Faculty pursing wisdom, knowledge and understanding, and is committed to raising this generation of youth to be effective leaders for Jesus Christ.
MEETING OUR MISSION
Every activity at JRHS is designed to guide each student toward becoming a strong and effective leader for Jesus Christ. Our mission is carried out through a four-fold strategy of providing:
Meaningful Academics
A strong foundation of knowledge is passed on to students to provide them with a well-rounded, traditional education that serves to prepare them for their next step in life.We offer two paths: college preparation and career readiness.
Project-Based Learning
PBL augments our academics through hands-on learning of dozens of skills from creating to building to performance to exploring and more. Students gain both hard and soft skills that are valuable at college, work, and home.
Spiritual Formation
God is at the center of our pursuits with four years of Bible class, a daily devotion, as well as weekly small group Bible study and Chapel. Our annual Fall Student Retreat and Spring Mission Trips are unique experiences that produce much fruit.
Vibrant Community
Agape is the Greek word for selfless, unconditional love. Jesus taught agape love to His disciples, revealing that fellowship for Christians is central to a healthy walk with God. We seek to foster agape community at JRHS among our students, faculty, staff, alumni, supporters, and neighbors. Our program and campus are designed to nurture this vibrant community.
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.

School Reviews
5 2/7/2025
I have yet to come across a school like JRHS. It offers the high level of academic rigor that many private schools offer, but it pairs that rigor with an unparalleled project-based elective curriculum that allows students to learn things like stained-glass making, timber-frame barn building, leather crafting, maple syrup making, mural painting, wilderness survival, wetlands botany, and more. And all of these things are firmly rooted in the truths of the Bible. Students are also given opportunities for national and international travel through missions and service trips to places like Japan, Hungary, Haiti, and numerous American cities. Not only that, but the school body puts on an annual Humanities Faire every fall (rotating through Ancient, Medieval/Renaissance, Victorian, and 20th Century) in which the students portray through drama, art, song, and activity the various characters and events of that time period. In short, JRHS is one of one. I cannot endorse it highly enough.

We chose Jesse Remington for our daughter because she was not thriving in a large public school setting, and we saw that she needed a much smaller, supportive, loving Christian community. JRHS is kind of like a youth group, a fun outdoor wilderness camp, and school all rolled into one. At JRHS, children are part of a loving community of faith, where kids are invited and challenged to grow academically, spiritually, and emotionally—all while having a lot of fun together! I am so impressed by how holistic Jesse's education is—in terms of developing the whole person—in areas ranging from basic construction skills, to archery, to cooking, to hiking and wilderness skills, to arts and crafts, to evangelism, to finances, to learning how to navigate the end of a college semester, and so much more. This is a truly unique educational environment, and we have never seen our daughter so happy and growing in school as she is now! We have seen our daughter working hard, learning a lot, and growing in confidence academically and relationally.

Jesse Remington High School is an amazing institution for learning both academically and through project based learning. I have graduated 4 kids already with my 5th currently enrolled.. I have been blessed to house international students (2 currently). The opportunities that each student has to excel both academically and spiritually has an impact on them the rest of their lives! Come visit for a Taste and See Tour starting with a wonderful lunch with all the students and staff, and then touring our beautiful campus.!! Don't miss out!

We decided on Jesse because it is a Christian School and we've discovered it is more than what we had prayed for and hoped. It's a community truly built on biblical values. Staff and teachers pour into their students encouraging and equipping them as they work to reach challenging academic and life goals. We've discovered students mentor, support, and share generously with one another in order that everyone can succeed in their academics, on their respective sports teams, or reach the top of a 4000 Footer together and discover the deep and multi-layered meanings at the heart of scripture. At Jesse, our daughter has grown significantly in her leadership skills, she started out quite shy and would dismiss opportunities to stand and lead or share her spiritual thoughts with others. Today she's developed confidence in her faith and even leads her peers in scripture readings, evangelizing is one of her favorite classes! And because of her academic and leadership achievements, she's received two generous academic college scholarships - Jesse prepares their students to be effective leaders for Jesus, such a blessing.

As our neighbor for nearly twenty years, Jesse Remington High School has had a special place in my heart for a long time. It wasn't until our first-born became a student at the school that I learned how valuable this place is. The rigorous academics were made clear when I tutored JRHS students while my own children were still little. We had been introduced to project-based learning through going to the Humanities Faire performances year after year. However, I didn't realize until I became more closely connected with the community that teachers pray for the students. Students learn how to live their Christian testimonies through the Christian ethic that permeates all they do and every challenge they face. I have personally seen one of my sons come to the Lord because of the impact the speaker at that year's fall mountain retreat, and another son learn how blessed he is by God and how to share that blessing with others on a mission trip. Our church's high school Sunday school teacher often comments to me how deeply they think about and understand Scripture, and I have to give the JRHS Bible teacher his due. They have learned to navigate difficulty, complexity, and pressure with grace and honesty. Jesse Remington High School has provided so much more than a building with classes. It has provided experiences that have shaped my boys into strong Christian men who are well-prepared for their next chapters in life. One son is in college, chasing his dreams. Another is ready for the workforce with a solid job where he is respected and trusted. The value of a JRHS education is far higher than any figure I could estimate. For our family, it has been priceless.

My son recently graduated from Jesse Remington High School after 4 years in attendance. This high school is a vibrant, energetic Christ-centered community comprised of a close-knit student body and a team of faculty and staff who are supportive, encouraging, and dedicated to each and every student. The curriculum is challenging and rigorous and prepares students for the demands of college. The Project Learning opportunities that are woven into the curriculum allow students to learn and develop unique and interesting skills not offered in other traditional high schools that I am aware of. The impactful and life-changing domestic and international mission trips allow students to share the gospel and spread God's love personally to those in need. The sports programs are exciting and competitive. If you are looking and praying for a high school with teachers who support and nurture your student's academic, physical, and spiritual well-being, then Jesse Remington High School is a great choice for your family!

Our family highly recommends Jesse Remington and we see it as the best Christian high school option in southern New Hampshire. Two of our daughters have attended JRHS. This school has an amazing culture that is respectful, friendly, fun, and motivating. Opportunities to play sports and the "Outdoor Ed" programs are excellent and diverse. The academics are high-level and my graduate was well prepared for college. Teachers and staff are people that students look up to and are wonderful Christian influences. This joyful and friendly Christian community is a blessing to our family.

My son attended JRHS for all 4 years of high school. The teachers are great and care about the students as well as the subject matter they teach. The community at the school is supportive from the care of the headmaster to the student friendships that continue well beyond high school. The project classes are such a unique bonus to the academic offerings that I feel it makes for a much more rounded education. An education that prepares you for "real life" as well as college and career. My son was well prepared to enter the riggers of college and thrive there. He is now in the world of the employed but he still remembers his time at JRHS with fondness.

A high school educational experience to remember for a lifetime!Both of our children are Jesse Remington High School (JRHS) alumnae and I openly admit, our entire family *loved* the experience. JRHS is highly regarded for pioneering traditional- (e.g. "classroom-based" humanities, English, math, and sciences) and project-based learning which has included projects such as robotics, timber framing, makerspace, maple sugaring, genealogy, drama, yearbook, leathercraft, geography, ecology, botany, to name just a few. In addition to offering several team sports, Jesse's weekly Outdoor Education classes are beyond anything I could have imagined possible, from skiing, hiking, archery, ice skating, basketball, volleyball, to birdwatching, marksmanship, and many others. Jesse`s Fall Mountain Retreats were also one of the school year highlights where the entire school traveled to northern New Hampshire`s White Mountains and spent a couple of days and nights together, pushing themselves with hikes of different degrees of difficulty, but most importantly, having time with their schoolmates and faculty to develop, or strengthen, the bonds which are a hallmark characteristic of Jesse Remington.Though both of our children are though presently away at college, they *can`t wait* to get back home and visit their old high school, coaching and mentoring the underclassmen during their academic portfolios, serving as guides during open houses, and other opportunities to participate as well as catch-up with others. Above all, the sense of extended community offered through Jesse Remington High School is like nothing we could have envisioned or experienced before!
5 2/15/2021
The decision to send our son to Jesse Remington High School was, hands down, the best educational decision we ever made! It was undoubtedly the best money we have ever spent! We truly invested in our son's future. From the classical curriculum to the project based learning to the Outdoor Ed experiences, JRHS is a high school like no other. The support and investment the students receive from the staff and faculty is unparalleled. Our son has been challenged, both academically and spiritually. We have no doubt that he is solid in his faith and his academics and will be ready to face the world on the day he graduates.
5 1/11/2021
Jesse Remington High School develops the whole student: Academics, Spiritual, Physical, Formative Relationships, Skill Development and fosters a high level of personal and professional development. As an administrator who is seeing the great work in student's lives, and also a parent whose daughter graduated in 2020, this school will help your student to flourish. I highly recommend.

We are in our third year with Jesse Remington High School. We currently have a Junior and Freshman attending. There is so much to value, love and appreciate about the school, it's hard to sum up in a review. The campus is unique in a country-like setting, students learn necessary life-long skills through the project based learning programs, the academics prepare students for college and life beyond, the Outdoor Education program is exceptional, weekly Chapel and Koinonia groups help with spiritual formation and accountability, there are sports and club offerings where there is something for everyone, but above all that, the Christian Community is what truly is a blessing at this school. It really is a partnership between parents and the faculty & staff. It is a safe place for our kids spiritually, emotionally and physically.

I have 3 kids that have attended JRHS. As a parent, I love that Jesus is at the center of the school. Beautiful campus that encourages students to go outside between classes. Great hands on learning thru projects and labs. JRHS does a great job preparing students for their next step after high school with strong academics and programs that create effective leaders for Jesus.
