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!

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.

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.
