​Martins Ferry Christian School

 

The Martins Ferry Christian Grade School has been in existence since 1984 and is chartered by the Ohio Department of Education, while the Preschool was chartered years before under the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, and now falls under the Ohio Department of Children and Youth.  We serve families from Martins Ferry, as well as anywhere is the surrounding area, including West Virginia. We are presently offering PreK through 6th Grade for the 2026 - 2027 school year. Justin Hill, our superintendent, is also the senior minister at First Christian Church. George Irvin is our administrator/principal. We currently have 7 teachers and teachers' aides.

 

We view each pupil as an individual created in the image of God with unique talents, abilities, and needs. We seek to develop all of these in each child. Our class size is relatively small, which is conducive to a more personal learning experience. Our students participate in many extracurricular events and competitions including the ACSI Math Olympics, ACSI Speech Meet, and the Belmont County Scripp's Spelling Bee.          

 

We offer an academically challenging curriculum which uses phonics as the method for teaching children to read. Our kindergarten students start reading near the end of the first semester. History and science are taught from a Christian perspective. The students also receive daily Bible instruction.

   

Each week the students have gym, music, art, library and computers.

   

Our tuition is very reasonable at $1450.00 year or $145.00 a month for Preschool. 

   

If you live in Ohio, desire a Christian Education for your Children and meet enrollment requirements, you can receive a scholarship to help pay for tuition. Ohio has expanded the Educational Choice Scholarship Program to now include every K-12 student in the State. The amount awarded depends on family income, but all Ohio students can get some scholarship amount towards tuition.  

​

If you live in West Virginia, desire a Christian Education for your Children and meet enrollment requirements, you can receive a scholarship to help pay for tuition. WV has updated their Hope Scholarship Program that know allows all K-12 students to attend a private school.
