Judah Christian School is a private, Preschool-12 grade, nondenominational, Christian school in Champaign, Illinois.[1]
History
In the fall of 1983, Judah Christian private school began for grades 7 through 10. The plan was to include one more grade each year until JCS would become a private school program for grades seven through twelve. To help continue the growth of this new ministry, Urbana Assembly of Christ discontinued its 7th- and 8th-grade program. The school spent two years in the Webber Street Church facility, in Urbana. The school then moved to its location on Prospect Avenue. Plans for expansion began when JCS bought 54 acres of land.
Judah has been nationally acknowledged for excellent academics.
Because of the request of several parents, the growth of Judah continued when in the spring of 1986 elementary grades became a part of the school.
During the autumn of 1991 the Judah Christian School Society (JCSS) decided to add a preschool to Judah, making it a private Christian school including preschool through high school.
In 1999 the school expanded the building which included a gymnasium, secondary classrooms (for math, science, etc.) and offices.
