2020 Best Christian High Schools in PennsylvaniaAbout this List

Germantown Friends School

• Private School
• Philadelphia, PA
• PK, K-12
• 64 reviews

Alum: Definitely a fantastic school. There's a lack of diversity which is an issue which the administration seems committed to solving -- both socioeconomic and racial. The teachers care quite a bit about their students, though there's been a lot of turnover in the past few years. They send many of their alum to good institutions, which is a testament to how much the college counseling team/the teachers care about the kids there. Could use more focus on getting students to take arts/music/classics/language classes because people definitely tune out by their senior year. Generally, a very happy place to be, though, and I have entirely positive memories from my education there.

The Episcopal Academy

• Private School
• Newtown Square, PA
• PK, K-12
• 123 reviews

Parent: My children have been attending Episcopal Academy for 5 years and started in the Lower School. I could not be happier with the school as a whole but more specifically the incredible faculty, support staff, and compassionate/nurturing environment that our school fosters. Yes it is academically rigorous and yes your children will be challenged but our students have access to so many incredible resources to help support them along the way. I question whether my children would have reached their full potential in all components of "mind, body, spirit" if we sent them anywhere else. Episcopal Academy is not just a school but a one-of-a-kind community that we are proud to be part of!

Westtown School

• Private School
• West Chester, PA
• PK, K-12
• 81 reviews

Alum: One of my favorite things about Westtown is its sense of community. When you go on a tour, it's something your tour guide is sure to mention, but you don't really begin to understand what they mean until you go to school at Westtown. The people at Westtown are what makes it so great. Before I went to school at Westtown, I didn't know the name of every person in my grade, let alone most of the teacher's names. I love that I have become so close to my teachers and that now, even after I graduated, I can go to them with any problems I have or simply come back and visit and be welcomed with open arms.

Friends Central School

• Private School
• Wynnewood, PA
• PK, K-12
• 45 reviews

Parent: As a parent, I can't think of a better place to send my kids to school. The academics are terrific, the sports/movement program focuses on what is important, and the exposure to ideas and experiences outside of the usual academics provide for a rich and thought provoking experience. But maybe the most important aspect of the school comes from the Quaker idea that there is that of God in each of us, and, adults and young people alike deserve to be treated like human beings, and are expected to treat other people like human beings. By that, I mean with care and respect and appreciation.

William Penn Charter School

• Private School
• Philadelphia, PA
• PK, K-12
• 99 reviews

Alum: Between my own PC experience, and from personally knowing many graduates of comparable college preparatory schools, there's not a better educational experience to be had in SE PA. If I had to name 1 out of many positive features, it'd be the multi-axial approach that PC takes to the definition of "education." Of course, academics are top-notch, but an A+ in Calculus, Language, or History is not ALL that PC teaches a young person. In addition, the elements of service, athletics, arts, diversity, all anchored in a rock solid moral foundation....make PC a place that will shape a student forever. Final draft: Recommended!

Friends Select School

• Private School
• Philadelphia, PA
• PK, K-12
• 45 reviews

Parent: This school is wonderful. My son feels secure and happy and productive here. The teachers are experts, as is the administration. They take their profession seriously and are very thoughtful to the kids and thoughtful about community. The school is Quaker and takes that philosophy of inclusiveness and empathy seriously. I am so relieved my child gets to be in this environment everyday. I see the description says "Christian", but actually the school has students of many different faith/nonfaith backgrounds. They offer several languages, great art and musical staff, a whole slew of engaging endeavors and studio facilities as the children grow. The staff loves what they do and imho are phenomenal at it.:)

Abington Friends School

• Private School
• Jenkintown, PA
• PK, K-12
• 88 reviews

Parent: My son and I moved to Pennsylvania on our own in the midst of a very difficult personal situation. Every single Abington Friends School staff member, and so many families, embraced us immediately and gave us both a lot of support and love. Although we were sad to leave our Quaker school in Maryland, we could not have asked for a better academically rich and emotionally supportive place to which to come "home." The struggles we had were overcome throughout the next few years, and now we are the ones embracing, welcoming and mentoring new families. If you want a positive, uplifting, loving, and caring setting -- on top of an outstanding academic environment, in which your child can learn, grow, and thrive then this is the place to be. Welcome, friends!

Senior: Great place to be to find yourself as a person, the brotherhood here is real, and the student staff relationships is real. You are able to expand your personality and interest with the numerous clubs and sports you have at hand, and you can experience people from all over the world because how diverse the school is. The food could be a little better, but what so you expect from a boarding school

Delaware County Christian School

• Private School

• PK, K-12
• 95 reviews

Parent: When my wife and I moved to the Philadelphia suburbs from Dallas, TX, we were thrilled to discover Delaware County Christian School. Our three young children are receiving a nurturing, academically rigorous education that is rooted in a Christian worldview. It is so encouraging to me to watch their development (with ups and downs!) as whole persons and followers of Christ, and DCCS eagerly partners with us in that endeavor!

Coventry Christian Schools

• Private School
• Pottstown, PA
• PK, K-12
• 19 reviews

Parent: This review is for the Preschool Program ages 2-4:

Overall Coventry is outstanding for academics. I love that they have STEM labs that even the preschoolers cycle through. Hate kids have structured Gym with the gym teacher, and you can sign up for violin at age 3. The teachers are happy there and retire from there which is rare for a preschool. The communication is excellent with the School. They are warm and welcoming to everyone, and many non-Christian students attend, which I think says a lot about them. My son was identifying and spelling his name at 2, writing it at 3, and I am told that many kids can read by 4. We are seriously considering Coventry for K-12 because of our excellent preschool experience.

Covenant Christian Academy

Niche User: Covenant Christian Academy is a wonderful school! After moving and spending the past year teaching at another christian school, I am even more convinced that Covenant is a truly special school. The high school students at Covenant have a maturity that is unique for their age and are engaged in learning in a way that I have not seen elsewhere. This community of educators and families, sharing a love for Christ and for education, is doing a wonderful job at cultivating a love for learning and shaping these students into deep thinkers.

Veritas Academy

• Private School
• Leola, PA
• PK, K-12
• 19 reviews

Parent: My kids (grades K & 2) love school and are growing leaps and bounds above their public school peers. Class times are unique, immersive, and engaging, developing a love for literature, math, history, Bible, the arts, and more all in one. My son can name every country on a blank map of Africa already thanks to fun geography lessons, and he'll be able to do the same for the entire globe by the time he finishes sixth grade! The teachers LOVE what they do and LOVE the kids and LOVE the word of God, and they are fantastic. I cannot wait until my kids are in secondary school, where I see the kids having regular feasts and traditions to celebrate their learning, discussing IN DEPTH texts that I barely covered in college, having well-informed debates with each other and teachers, and taking math courses that I can't even wrap my mind around. This school, using the Classical Christian Education model, is beyond unique and we are so blessed to be here.

Veritas Press Scholars Academy

• Private School
• Lancaster, PA

• 8 reviews

Parent: Veritas Academy is an online school, which means it has top notch teachers (because they are not restricted by region when hiring teachers), incredible flexibility in where you take classes (just need wifi), and general adaptability to providing a high standard of education to you wherever you need it (Diploma program so you can officially graduate through VPSA? They got it. Just want to take a couple classes to supplement your other school life? Yes can do.) Would not recommend to those who prefer in real life contact with teachers and classmates.

Philadelphia-Montgomery Christian Academy

• Private School
• Erdenheim, PA
• K-12
• 59 reviews

Alum: Phil-Mont has great teachers who are committed to the success of their students. The school’s staff and faculty are credentialed professionals with years of experience. Several of the teachers have been there for over thirty years! The Phil-Mont community is supportive, the environment is safe, and the academics are strong. After Phil-Mont, I went on to complete three postsecondary degrees (a bachelor’s degree, and two masters degrees), and I feel that Phil-Mont prepared me well for that path. I thrived academically, emotionally, and spiritually in college because of the solid spiritual and academic foundation I received at Phil-Mont. I wouldn’t hesitate to send my kids to this school. Like many private preparatory schools, Phil-Mont is a significant financial investment. At Phil-Mont, however, you get what you pay for. I, for one, cannot imagine a better way to use my resources than to invest them in my child’s spiritual and academic growth and maturity.

Parent: Our family has been blessed with a Dock Mennonite Academy education thus far for 2 of our 4 children! Our Middle School experience with smaller class/grade sizes, an academically challenging curriculum, as well as being welcomed into a loving and supportive community has helped our children and family as a whole! Incorporating a faith-based education into our lives has encouraged our children to develop a greater appreciation for different beliefs/religions as well as strengthening their own spiritual awareness. The friendships that have been made between families raising their children with the same values has made the middle school years much easier and with an incredible amount of support!

Trinity Christian School

• Private School
• Wilkinsburg, PA
• K-12
• 62 reviews

Parent: I've had 4 kids at Trinity and it has been a great experience! I wouldn't have changed a thing. The teachers truly care for and get to know the kids on a personal level. The kids are very accepting of one another and bullying is not tolerated by the teachers or even the kids. The "Classical Christian Education" model is exceptional, and my kids have been extremely well prepared for college. For me, the Classical education model is big differentiator from other local Christian Schools options. Some people perceive Trinity is too difficult academically, but most kids who simply put the in time and do the homework should not have a hard time getting good grades, and it really pays off on the SAT and ACT scores. I highly recommend Trinity!

Parent: As a parent I love that my children are challenged academically, cared for by teachers, and are learning in a diverse, global environment! They are also learning to care about their faith, values, and the community around them. LM offers many opportunities that smaller private Christian schools are not able to provide. As a creative family, we have greatly enjoyed the fine arts program and excellent drama and art opportunities.

Immanuel Christian School

• Private School
• Hazleton, PA
• K-12
• 7 reviews

Senior: After having attended Immanuel for a number of years, one learns to truly appreciate many aspects of this school. Many, in fact, are unique to it. For example, the teachers here are of the highest caliber-- both spiritually, and academically. Due to the very small size, Immanuel profits by offering the chance to each of its students a personal interaction with each of the faculty and staff, all of whom are genuinely interested in his spiritual and academic welfare. Through daily devotions led by each homeroom teacher in the upper grades and chapel every Wednesday for all grades, a student's faith is sharpened and he is prepared to meet the challenges that the secular world around him can offer. In short, Immanuel Christian is a fine school and a wonderful choice for any family. It has helped me grow in my personal walk with Christ immensely, and so, for that, and all other aforementioned reasons, I would highly recommend it.

Eden Christian Academy

• 43 reviews

Alum: Eden Christian Academy demonstrates a thriving, supportive, and challenging academic environment that encourages strong relationships between students and teachers. With the small student to teacher ratio, the class sizes are small enough to create and foster relationships with the teachers. The training and application of Christian values equip students to grow deeper in their faith as they enter college or the workforce after graduation.

Seeds of Faith Christian Academy

• Private School
• Indiana, PA
• PK, K-12
• 21 reviews

High School Junior: I was physically attacked at my old school, and I moved to Seeds of Faith in the middle of the year. The school has been nothing but accepting of my academic needs. I was in Geometry in my seventh grade year at my old school, but I failed that because of lack of education there. Seeds of Faith examined me and put me in the correct math at my pace. The school cracks down on bullying and if there is an issue, a parent is notified immediately. The teachers all want what is best for you, and are willing to work at your pace. The teachers explain the Bible fairly well. The students are nothing but kind, caring individuals who accept you no matter what. We are like a tight knit family. Financial aid is a first come, first serve basis. The dress code is long, but is intended for modesty, to represent ourselves and the academy.

Parent: Grace Prep is an excellent small private school that is academically challenging, emotionally engaging and cultural astute in preparing students for life. A Grace Prep student isn't only prepared academically for college but also learns the value of intelligent faith and how to engage others in meaningful conversations. Grace Prep is focused on teaching kids to look outside of themselves and serve those around them. Any student who attends here will discover a unique educational experience that will push them to be their best and to give their best in all that they do.

Robinson Township Christian School

• Private School

• K-12
• 29 reviews

Parent: As parents we have found that our kids have thrived in the small class-room sizes, it's not a draw-back that this is a smaller school, the greatest strength is that students are known and can be themselves. We love that kids can still be kids here! The teachers are top-notch and really care about their students, it's academically rigorous and parents are encouraged to be involved. Although our kids have not graduated yet, we've been impressed by where other graduating RTCS seniors have gone to college and how they've clearly learned and grown here in their faith and education. We're confident our kids are getting the same good foundation and thankful we found this Christian community!
