At Jay County Christian School,
our goal is to teach the leaders of tomorrow
to live for God today.

YOUR FAMILY IS WELCOME HERE.

01

OUR MISSION
Our instructional approach has a dual purpose: To nurture children in the teachings of the Lord and to cultivate their Godly character.

Equip children with essential academic skills to discover their individual purpose within God's calling while using their unique talents and abilities to God's glory.

02

OUR VISION
Jay County Christian Academy's vision is to raise generations of Godly youth who love the Lord with all their heart, serve Him in church and vocation, and worship Him in holiness. Our goal is to train up faithful disciples who reflect God's love and character to the world around us.

03

OUR VALUES
The Bible is central to our instruction at our school.  God's Word truly is the foundation of quality education and we value that above all else.  We value each student as a gift from God to train up for His glory, and we value each family God allows us to partner with as we teach their children at school supporting what our parents are teaching at home.

​"In the same way, encourage the young men to live wisely. And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind. Let everything you do reflect the integrity and seriousness of your teaching. Teach the truth so that your teaching can't be criticized. Then those who oppose us will be ashamed and have nothing bad to say about us." Titus 2:7-8

​ We have a 15-1 student to teacher ratio.
