Every employee and at least one parent of each enrolled student must be a born-again Christian who is actively involved in a local evangelical* church (attending 3 to 4 times per month) and evidencing Christ-like character in his/her lifestyle.

In addition, each student (grades 7-12) must be a born-again Christian, committed to holy living and the pursuit of excellence in their education.  Students must evidence that they are under the authority of their parents and seek to live a life that is above reproach.  All enrolled students must attend a local evangelical church on a regular basis.

Since its inception, parents and students enrolling at SJCS have done so with the understanding that attendance at their local evangelical church is essential for enrollment. Each new family must have a pastor’s recommendation uploaded to their students’ enrollment portfolio in FACTS before the student’s enrollment is considered complete and they are able to attend classes.  Returning families review/update their church attendance information during online re enrollment. Exceptions to the church attendance requirement may be made by the school board, at its sole discretion.

  • Evangelical – Emphasizing salvation by faith in the atoning death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ through personal conversion, the authority and inerrancy of scripture, and each person’s need for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
