Mission & Values - San Jose Christian School

About

Our Mission

The mission of San Jose Christian School is to advance the kingdom of God by providing exceptional teaching and curriculum fully integrated with Biblical perspective. Within our committed Christian community, we live to engage and transform culture for Jesus Christ.

Core Values

At San Jose Christian, we teach students to develop a Biblical Worldview where they are discerners and world-changers. We infuse faith into every aspect of our curriculum and challenge students to make a difference in their world, even now as students. By teaching them Responsible Stewardship, we encourage students to use their community, time, and resources to transform their world for Christ.

We believe in teaching the Whole Child, recognizing that God created us all with different abilities and gifts. We hold every student to his or her level of Educational Excellence within a safe and loving environment. Our Outstanding Teachers love God, love their subject areas, and love students. They hold high levels of excellence and professionalism for themselves and are committed to be lifelong learners.

Each of these values is experienced within our Intentional Christian Community. We work to establish a strong relationship between church, home, and school, so that students and families are equipped and encouraged in their faith. We are a covenantal, faith-filled community that is holding each other accountable to living out these core values and engaging and transforming our culture for Jesus Christ.

Biblical Worldview

At SJCS we value seeing life through the lens of scriptural truth and living accordingly. We acknowledge the sovereignty of God over every aspect of creation. We address the fallen-ness of humanity and the broken-ness of creation by directly addressing their effects on life as God intended it to be. We do not avoid difficult issues; we teach biblical discernment.

Educational Excellence

We value high academic standards for our students, cultivating each child’s potential capacity as an image-bearer of God. We value proactive innovation, carefully assessing the need for change and seeking new methods to improve education when appropriate. We provide educational excellence for each student within a safe and loving environment.

Whole Child

We value each child as a unique workmanship of God himself. We develop the wholeness of each child’s character, academic progress, effort, physical abilities and artistic expression.

Outstanding Teachers

We value outstanding, passionate and faith-filled teachers, who meet the highest professional standards and are flourishing both personally and professionally. Our teachers are committed to the calling of Christian education.

Responsible Stewardship

We value responsible Kingdom-advancing stewardship over all of creation, including community, people, time, facilities, financial resources and the environment.

Intentional Christian Community

SJCS is a covenantal, faith-infused community. Our faith is passionate and the Spirit is alive among us. We lovingly hold each other accountable to the core values stated here. We demonstrate unwavering support to our fellow community members in upholding these same values.
