School History: Japhet School was founded in 1973. It opened at a time when public education institutions were removing the teaching of values from the daily lives of schoolchildren. Japhet's six original trustees were parents and educators who were devoted to the idea that character instruction and strong academics went hand in hand. Japhet began with 27 students who were Christian Scientists. Religion never was, nor is today, taught at Japhet School. 38 years later, Japhet is an independent, co-educational day school for children of diverse backgrounds. Faculty, staff, and trustees also represent a variety of life experiences.
Programs and Services:
Character education, focus on oral communication
