What is your admission policy?
San Jose Christian School believes it can most effectively carry out its mission and goals when its efforts are balanced with effective spiritual nurturing in the home and in the church. Consequently, SJCS primarily admits students whose parents (guardians) provide this balance. The spiritual nurture in the home and church should be consistent with SJCS' Statement of Faith. When this is not the case SJCS may admit students whose parents (guardians) are striving to achieve this balance.

How many churches are represented in your student body?
There are currently about 100 churches represented.

What is your discipline policy?
Being a Christ centered school, we strive to teach our children to treat each other with the respect that God requires of us. Our general behavior standards are to be courteous and cooperative, to refrain from behaviors that interfere with teaching and learning, and to respect the person, possessions and space of others. Teachers work with students individually to correct misguided behaviors. If further intervention is needed, the teacher and student will meet with the principal. If the problem continues, a parent conference will be called. If the problem continues further it will result in suspension and if needed, finally, expulsion.

Does your school have extended care?
Yes, we have a before and after school care. Extended care is available before school from 7-8 AM. It opens again after school from 3-6 PM. Our extended care also provides a summer camp for SJCS students.
