Academics
Traditional Curriculum
Demanding. Thought provoking. Rigorous. Worthy. Timeless. Proven. Real. Useful. Authentic – these are the characteristics of the Jesse Remington traditional curriculum.
​
Our traditional curriculum, taught by professional, Christian teachers, exposes our students to the timeless truths of God’s world. Our curriculum not only offers them the academic material and skills they will need to be competitive and successful in the college marketplace, but it also offers the opportunity for students to learn some of life’s essential skills like self-discipline, perseverance, time management and consistency.
​​
Students at JRHS take successive years of all subjects. Instead of dropping courses as they get older, they hone in on advanced material. Upper high school students can choose between College Prep courses and General Studies. Keep reading to get a peek at the disciplines.
Humanities​​
Jesse Remington students gain an understanding of the world we live in. Students study eras and civilizations from Biblical times right up to the present, with the goal of each student leaving high school with a solid Biblical World-View.
​​
Writing
We place great emphasis upon writing at our school. The Humanities and Bible classes train in analytical and research writing, preparing the student to be a well versed, capable, persuasive writer.
​​
Reading
No student leaves JRHS without having read the classic pieces of literature from world history. Apostle Paul, Sophocles, Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Dickens, Twain, Hawthorne, Hemingway, Steinbeck, Lewis, Solzhenitsyn and on goes the list of great authors our students are exposed to.
​Science
The combination of hands-on labs with the challenge of a rigorous text is what defines our science program. Younger students begin in Earth, Physical and Life Sciences, and culminate with Chemistry and Physics, or Anatomy.​​
​Bible
At the center of a student’s experience is the Bible class. Successive years of study geared at personal application form the heart and mind of the student. Freshmen and Sophomores survey the Old and New Testaments, while Juniors and Seniors explore Christian literature and ethics, apologetics, and the Christian worldview.​​
Entrepreneurial Education
The goal of our EE program is to empower students to think differently about the opportunities and obstacles in their lives. This year's EE class has developed Sentinel Slices, a delicious new enterprise. They have learned how to present to investors to win a loan, develop recipes, purchase equipment and ingredients, and much more!
Math
Students take a math course at Jesse Remington all of their years. Some go the theoretical route, culminating in Calculus; others go the practical route, culminating in Business Math.
College and Career
This very important class is offered each year helps students prepare for high school, college, and the workplace. Students learn the skills they need to be successful in high school and beyond, prepare for the PSAT/SAT, learn about careers, colleges, the trades, and the military.
Foreign Language
Study of another language exposes students to not only the life and culture of another people, but to a worthy study unto itself. JRHS students have the option to take classroom Spanish for one or more years.
Arts & Artisans

Points of View

My wife and I regularly hike. We camp in the White Mountains and take nieces and nephews with us. The catalyst for my love of White Mountains was JRHS. I’m still seeking out and enjoying White Mountain experiences. I also finally finished that Mt Washington hike we started my Senior year but weather prevented reaching the top. We were so close!​
