Philosophy
St. Joseph Christian School is a non-denominational, private Christian school strategically located to serve pre-k through twelfth grade students from the Northwest Missouri/Northeast Kansas area. The school’s purpose is to partner with Christian families in their God-given responsibility to encourage, discipline, and instruct their children. Based on a biblical worldview, instruction at SJCS builds in core curricula at the lower levels and expands to provide college-preparatory coursework at the upper levels.
The biblical responsibility for training a child rests completely on his/her parents/guardians, who are accountable to God for that training. By enrolling at SJCS, parents/guardians are delegating the responsibility of formal education to the school. The school board, faculty, and staff of SJCS humbly receive that responsibility, taking it seriously, and desiring to work with parents in building a solid foundation on biblical truths. The school cannot and will not replace the roles of the home and church. In fact, the child who benefits most from attending a Christian school is one whose parents faithfully participate in a Bible-teaching church and diligently train themselves and their family in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. It is very difficult for a Christian school to spiritually train children effectively without unreserved support at home.
It is vital, therefore, that parents/guardians understand clearly, and wholeheartedly support, the school’s Essential Statements, as well as all policies and procedures provided in the student handbooks. Parents/guardians (and students 7-12), indicate they have read/reviewed the student handbook, including the Essential Statements, and are committed to uphold and abide by them by completing and signing the Essential Statements/Handbook Commitment page of online enrollment in FACTS each year.
