At Joy Christian School we prepare our students to successfully meet
the challenges of today and tomorrow through the provision of a superior
academic education which is founded in strong Christian values in the
Lutheran tradition. Our school community is committed to the education
of children and young people spiritually, intellectually, physically,
socially, and emotionally. The students' achievements and joy of learning
is optimized and facilitated by supportive faculty, staff, administration,
peers and parents and a challenging and exciting environment.
Our school offers many opportunities for parents to participate fully in their child's education — and we believe this is a key factor in a child's success.
