Our School's History

Joshua Springs Christian School began in 1994 as two small buildings with only forty students, grades 5-8. Today, Joshua Springs is the Morongo Basin's largest Christian school with a 42-acre campus that features a preschool, elementary, middle, and high school.

Joshua Springs Christian School was built to provide a sound academic education based upon a firm foundation in the authoritative and inerrant Word of God. The school program is designed for children whose parents are committed to a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Bible is specific in stating the principles which underline Christian education. The apostle Paul stated, “For by Him were all things created, that are in the Heaven, and that are in the earth… And He is before all things and by Him all things consist.” Colossians 1:16-17). The Gospel of John states, “All things were made by Him and without Him and without anything made that was made.” (John 1:3).

Functioning as an extension of the Christian home, Joshua Springs Christian School supports parents who seek to obey the Biblical instruction, which gives them ultimate responsibility for the education of their children. This is taught in Deuteronomy, “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk to them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the door posts of your house and on your gates.” (Deuteronomy 6:6-9).

Because the Christian approach to learning differs significantly from the secular viewpoint, Joshua Springs Christian School offers a curriculum rooted in a God-centered view of life. This view holds that God’s truth is the standard for all truth. The curriculum, taught by a qualified Christian faculty, allows parents to provide their children with academic instruction consistent with the Christ-centered teaching received at home and at church.

As a Christian school, we can never forget or ignore our mission statement and the purpose of our existence. The Lord Jesus Christ has given us a commission and has entrusted as His children into His care the honor of serving the living God. Let us seek Him in everything.
