Our History

In 1956, a group of parents from the Hartville area felt that God was calling them to create a Conservative Mennonite Christian Day School. They called several meetings to discuss plans and to draw up a constitution for such a school. Construction of Hartville Christian School began in September 1956. By December of the same year, the building was completed. Ninety students and four teachers moved from the rented building near Alliance into the present day elementary school building. Initially there were ten grades. In 1963, the eleventh grade was added, and in 1964 the twelfth grade was added. The first high school graduating class, the Class of ’65, consisted of seven students. At the present, the school consists of grades kindergarten through twelve.
