Dr. Seth Cohen is the President of Jupiter Christian School (JCS) in Palm Beach County, Florida. He leads three campuses serving students from PK2-12th grade. He lives in Jupiter with his wife, Anne, and is the father of eight children. Dr. Cohen is a graduate of Stony Brook School in New York and Wheaton College in Illinois. He has a Master’s Degree from Dowling College in Oakdale, New York and his Ed. D. from Temple University in Philadelphia. Dr. Cohen has previously served on the Board of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). Prior to his position at JCS, Dr. Cohen served as Headmaster at Spruce Hill Christian School (SHCS) and City Center Academy (CCA) in Philadelphia, an urban campus with predominantly minority students, leading a successful merger between the two schools and ensuring financial stability and academic improvement. After 15 years of work in Philadelphia, including advocacy for School Choice, he and his family moved to Santiago, Dominican Republic, where he served as the Director of Santiago Christian School for nine years. There, he grew the impact of this private international school by partnering with the leaders of local barrio schools and empowering them through teacher training, classroom resources, and mentorship. Today, his leadership at Jupiter Christian helps teach the minds, reach the hearts, and inspire servant leaders to impact the world for Jesus Christ.
