Many people misunderstand exactly what a Christian school is. Some believe it is a school where all students are Christians therefore never do anything wrong. While high standards are encouraged, the above view is unrealistic. Even Christ would not claim that his twelve closest followers made no mistakes. A Christian school is not even a place where the teachers are perfect.
Some folks think a Christian school is a place where students are sheltered from the real world.
There are days when I wish that were more true. We deal with most of the real world problems that affect young people today, we just do not deal with it in the magnitude that some places do. The difference is the purpose of Jackson Christian School. While education in math, science, English, and the other disciplines is vitally important, there is another area that JCS is committed to. It is the area of helping young people discover who and what they are.
