Lower School - Principal's Message

Dear Families,

The Lord is directing, protecting, and inspiring us through another awesome year here at Joy Christian School! Ephesians 6:13 – “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.” This Passage from Scripture gives us the clarity, strength and ability to look at this school year as a Spiritual battle for the Lord. Only with the Lord can any school truly maximize and achieve Christ-Centered Excellence!

Joy Christian School is presently an ACSI and NCA accredited school. Our academic basics exceed the Arizona State Standards. Many of the standards are enhanced through the integration of the Core Knowledge Curriculum. Benjamin Franklin said, “Nothing can contribute more to the cultivation and improvement of a country, the wisdom, riches, and strength, virtue and piety, the welfare and happiness of a people, than a proper education of youth.”

Each student and family at Joy Christian School is a partner in making the year a wonderful experience! As you take your journey through our website, may it bring to mind the love, support, fellowship and community that help to make up a school that is focused on Christ. This is the most integral part of our educational experience here at Joy! It is my personal prayer that each child grows in their love and understanding for Their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Thank you for taking the time in researching Joy Christian School. If you have any questions please call or visit us here at Joy. We look forward to being an even better school in the future with you and your family as our new partners in education!

Serving Christ,

Mark J. Kempf
Elementary and Middle School Principal
