About Joshua Springs Christian School
Welcome to Joshua Springs Christian School!
We are excited about what God is doing on our campus.
Truly, raising up the next generation is the most important goal we have as Christian teachers and administrators and we don't take this tremendous responsibility lightly. We pray each year that God would send students that are really excited about learning, not only about God but about every subject from a Christ centered perspective. We believe that the campus culture here at Joshua Springs allows each student to be themselves while building friendships that will last a lifetime.
At Joshua Springs Christian School students learn while having fun! Smaller classes are always a plus when it comes to one on one teaching, and building a bond between teacher and student. Joshua Springs is a secure campus. During class times all gates are locked and security personnel roam the campus to make sure not only that students are in class but also that no unauthorized person is walking about the campus.
Joshua Springs Christian School is Fully Accredited by both:

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.

Joshua Springs Christian School was founded and functions upon the basic fundamental principles of the Word of God, and espouses the historic Christian view of life as presented in the Bible. JSCS agrees with the Association of Christian Schools International seven-point “Affirmation of ACSI Statement of Faith”. The following statements of faith and practice are held by every JSCS employee and school family. We believe:
- The Bible to be the verbally inspired and the only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God.
- That there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
- That man is sinful by nature and that regeneration by the Holy Spirit is essential and an absolute necessity for his salvation.
- In the continuing ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.
- In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. They who are saved unto eternal life and they who are lost unto eternal damnation.
- In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
- In the creation of man by the direct act of God.
