Welcome to Our Savior's!
Our Savior’s Christian School: Committed to Excellence and Accreditation
At Our Savior’s Christian School (OSCS), we believe that a strong education is more than just academics—it’s about nurturing the whole child. Serving children from Pre-school through eighth grade, our mission is to provide both a quality education and a Christ-centered foundation, preparing students for the future with purpose and faith.
Dedicated to Shaping the Future
Our staff and teachers are more than educators—they are mentors dedicated to fostering both intellectual and spiritual growth. At OSCS, we understand the importance of building meaningful connections with our students and their families. These relationships are key to ensuring a well-rounded and supportive educational environment where each child can thrive.
The Value of Dual Accreditation
We are proud to be accredited by both the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSACS). This dual accreditation is a testament to our commitment to excellence, reflecting that our school not only meets but exceeds state educational standards.
Accreditation is an extensive process that evaluates every aspect of a school’s operation, from curriculum and teaching to student services and administration. It goes beyond the standard licensure required by the state of New York, ensuring that we uphold the highest quality in our educational practices. Our partnership with ACSI also includes a unique Biblical worldview component, which is integral to our mission of providing Christ-centered education.
Why Accreditation Matters
Accreditation demonstrates that OSCS is consistently meeting rigorous academic and operational benchmarks. This process ensures that our students receive a well-rounded education in a safe, nurturing environment. With dual accreditation, our families can be confident that their children are receiving an education that is both academically sound and spiritually enriching.
Join Our Community
At Our Savior’s Christian School, we are committed to shaping the future through a Christ-centered, high-quality education. We invite prospective families and stakeholders to connect with us and learn more about how OSCS can make a lasting impact on the lives of our students.
Our Principal

Mr. John Richardson
Welcome! My name is John Richardson, and I have had the privilege of serving as principal of Our Savior’s Christian School since 2018. With over 30 years in Christian education, I am passionate about partnering with families to provide a Christ-centered education that nurtures the whole child—academically, spiritually, and relationally. I also bring firsthand experience in school leadership, having personally led a previous school through the successful addition of a high school division.
At Our Savior’s Christian School, we believe that strong academics and a biblical worldview go hand in hand. Our dedicated teachers create a caring, structured environment where students are known, valued, and challenged to grow in knowledge, character, and faith. We are committed to walking alongside families and helping students discover and develop their God-given potential.
We are excited to be entering a new season of growth. Beginning next school year, Our Savior’s Christian School will be expanding to include high school, starting with 9th grade. Having previously guided a school through this same journey, that experience shapes our thoughtful and prayerful approach as we build a seamless, Christ-centered pathway that prepares students for both college and life beyond the classroom.
I invite you to visit Our Savior’s Christian School, meet our staff, and experience firsthand the warmth, excellence, and purpose that define our community. We would love to partner with you in your child’s educational journey.

Student Safety and Security Protocol
The safety and security of our students is our highest priority. All visitors must check in at the main office, where they will sign in and state the purpose of their visit. To further ensure safety, our building is equipped with security cameras, and we continuously strive to enhance our safety measures. Students may only be released to individuals listed on the parent authorization list, and proper identification will be verified before release.
Academics
Our Savior’s Christian School is proud to be accredited by both the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commissions on Elementary & Secondary Schools. This dual accreditation is a testament to our commitment to maintaining high standards in education, which we ensure through continuous school improvement initiatives.
Part of our strategy for excellence includes the regular administration of achievement tests and state-mandated exams. Consistently, our students have demonstrated outstanding performance, reflecting the strength of our academic programs.
In keeping with our goal to provide advanced opportunities for students, we offer Regents exams in Biology and Algebra 1 to our 8th graders. Additionally, students take the Checkpoint A Proficiency Exam for Spanish I. For those who qualify, these courses provide the opportunity to earn up to three high school credits before they even begin their high school journey.
