Someday.

Help our youth the truth to know

In love and honesty to grow

And living just and true

Great lofty height attain

To build a nation where peace

And justice shall reign.

Founder's Day Song

My Hope Is Built on Nothing Less

1. My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;

We dare not trust the sweetest frame

But wholly lean on Jesus' name.

Chorus: On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

All other ground is sinking sand

All other ground is sinking sand.

2. When darkness hides His lovely face,

I rest on His unchanging grace;

In every high and stormy gale

Our anchor holds within the veil.

3. His oath, His covenant, His blood

Support me in the whelming ood;

When all around my soul gives way,

He then is all my hope and stay.

4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,

Oh, may I then in Him be found,

Clothed in His righteousness alone,

Faultless to stand before the throne!

Daily Faith Anthem

HISTORY

Jephthah Comprehensive Secondary School (JCSS) is a private, full boarding, Junior and Senior Secondary School for boys and girls. The name 'Jephthah' means "God Opens."

thJCSS was established on the 6 of October, 1995 with seven children as the first students, and twelve members of staff at No. 2 Rumuibekwe Road and No.1 Yenegoa Street, Rumuibekwe Housing Estate in Port Harcourt, Nigeria.

On the 27th day of September, 1997, the school moved to its permanent site in the City of Christ on the East-West Road in the beautiful forested area of Rumuome-Ozuoba, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Today, JCSS has over 400 students in the junior and senior schools with over 200 staff strength. Jephthah serves a diverse student - body in terms of ethnicity, economic status, and Christian denominations. Nigerians make up 99% of the students' population with African-Americans and the British making up the remaining 1%.

Known for her academic excellence, discipline, and Christian values, Jephthah has produced graduates and undergraduates of various higher institutions in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Malaysia, Philippines, Hungary, Ukraine, Canada, Caribbean Islands, the United Kingdom and United States of America. The school is also a centre for the following British and American examinations: Cambridge GCE and IGCSE (supervised by the British Council, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.) PSAT, SAT, ACT, TOEFL, and GRE (organized by Educational Testing Services – ETS, United States of America). Our alumni serve in professional fields ranging from Administration, Education, Engineering, Finance, Law, Medicine, to the clergy.

All the honour, glory, praise and majesty belong to JESUS CHRIST who our FOUNDER, JEHOVAH GOD ALMIGHTY has given all powers in heaven and on earth. It is true there is a proliferation of private secondary schools in Nigeria but, it is nonetheless easy to identify the school with a difference in terms of standard operating procedure, moral and academic excellence. We stand to be counted among the few.

PHILOSOPHY OF JCSS

The philosophy of Jephthah Comprehensive Secondary School is succinctly hinged upon 2 Timothy3:16-17”All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness”. We believe that the Bible is the only inspired and infallible authoritative Word of God who is the author of all truth. To this end, we provide an atmosphere in the school that promotes spiritual, mental, social, and physical development as indicated in Luke 2:52 (And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man). We believe that the total education of each student necessitates active collaboration with parents to whom God has given the primary responsibility of educating the child. We train our students to develop in four (4 Pillars) core areas

VISION STATEMENT

BRIEF BACKGROUND OF THE SCHOOL

Our vision is to “train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it”. Proverbs 22:6 KJV

MISSION STATEMENTOur mission is to provide comprehensive Christian education in a supportive environment that promotes excellence in learning, self-discipline, and motivation, in ensuring that students become disciples of Jesus Christ and advance the global community.

SCHOOL MOTTO

Knowledge, Truth, and Light

EXPECTED STUDENTS' OUTCOMES:In JCSS, our philosophy is hinged on four pillars which we hold sacrosanct. These ideals are incorporated into the curriculum and determine our decisions on recruitment, facilities, equipment procurement, activities and events. We envision all students to be appreciably imbibed in the domains outlined below before graduating from JCSS.

And Jesus grew in wisdom (Academic)and stature (Physical)

and in favour with God (Spiritual)and man (Social & Emotional). Luke 2:52
