Our Mission and Philosophy
JCS's mission is to lead students to love God by providing the
opportunity for a quality, values-oriented education in
a Christian environment.
We hold that there is dignity and worth in the life of each young person who passes through our doors. Each student is viewed as an end--not a means to an end. It is the desire of JCS to help each student fulfill individual goals and to become proficient in a unique way.
JCS aims through its academic training to involve its students in participation and contribution to the community. An integral part of the academic aim is an emphasis on high
spiritual values--values based upon New Testament Christianity which will, in our view, help prepare a student to make a contribution to society.
In summary, the philosophy of JCS is to be academically strong, spiritually vital, and socially aware. Our goal is to
provide a quality education designed to develop body, mind, and spirit; to develop in our students a profound love for God, country, and their fellow man.
From preschool through their senior year, JCS students experience a sound academic environment backed by Christian principles.
Our faculty exists to encourage students to seek the best in themselves academically, physically, and spiritually.
The combination of a low student/teacher ratio, expanding curriculum, accreditation by Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), and a variety of enrichment opportunities provide an environment conducive to learning.
Recent ACT and SAT scores show JCS students perform well above national averages. A choice of liberal arts or honors diploma is offered to students. Over the past eight years, approximately 98% of all JCS seniors have continued their education in institutions of higher learning throughout the country.
As a member of TSSAA, our girls and boys sports teams have excelled both regionally and locally. Additional extracurricular activities include a growing emphasis in fine arts, including various music programs.
