School Profile
St. Joseph Christian School
School Overview
God is the source of all truth. Man’s wisdom and knowledge come from God’s wisdom and understanding. SJCS students are discovering what God has foreordained. SJCS uses curriculum (most of which is written from a Christian perspective) that is compatible with biblical teachings. SJCS is divided by grade level, and certified teachers provide instruction in each classroom. SJCS fully meets the State of Missouri professional development criteria for teacher re-certification.
School History
Saint Joseph Christian School was founded in 1988 with this conviction as its cornerstone: There is no other foundation upon which to lay the education of its students than the Lord Jesus Christ.
SJCS maintains that the truest metric for assessing its success is how well students learn to integrate events, experiences, and knowledge of the world with the truth of God’s Word.
The school’s academic program encompasses pre-kindergarten through the twelfth grade. The school is a ministry of Area Ministers for Christ, Inc.
The school’s first campus was located at 14th and Olive Streets in St. Joseph. As enrollment continued to increase, a new and larger facility was needed. St. Joseph Christian School moved to its new, state-of-the-art campus at 5401 Gene Field Road in 2002.
