Mission Statement
Juniata Mennonite School exists to provide Christian families with a Christ-centered, biblical education for students K-12. We strive to nurture the students' God-given gifts in cooperation with their individual churches and families. Students are taught from an Anabaptist worldview of servanthood, peace-making, discipleship, and community. We exist to produce academically sound spiritually directed servant-leaders for future generations.
Philosophy of Education
Juniata Mennonite school believes that the purpose of Christian Education is to guide children toward a life orientation centered in Christ and the Kingdom values He taught. The Christian school partners with parents who bear the primary responsibility for their child's education.
Our approach to Christian education rests on the following principles:
God is the author of all truth.
The Bible is the final authority for faith and life.
All curriculum is developed through study, discussion, discovery, and practice of subject material.
New Testament understandings such as discipleship, peacemaking, Christian community, service, and mission are emphasized throughout the curriculum.
Spiritual, physical, social, emotional, and academic maturation are all crucial to God's design for His created children.
A child's true value will be found in proper relationship to God and others.
The spiritual and professional integrity of school personnel is vital to the education experience.
