Juniata Mennonite School was established
in 1954 by a group of Mennonite families
interested in providing a Christian
education for their children. The Delaware
Mennonite congregation made their
recently vacated church building available
and the school was named Delaware
Mennonite School.
Beginning in 1954 with 39 students in
grades one through ten, the enrollment has
varied considerably over the years.
Following the organizational changes in
1980, the school has received increasing
support from a wider group of parents. In
1980, a new organization formed whereby
the school came under the direction of an
association of patrons. The school's name
was changed to Juniata Mennonite School.
On April 11, 1988, the school moved to
new facilities in McAlisterville,
Pennsylvania. This move has provided
opportunity for an expanded enrollment
and also a greatly improved learning
environment. The school has recently
added additional office, library, and
classroom space and now has a full high
school program.
Juniata Mennonite School exists to provide
Christian families with a Christ-centered,
biblical education for students K–12.
