Who will my child become?
How will you measure success?
How will we know if we’re meeting our mission?

These are THE most important questions for any parent when deciding on a place to educate their child. At Joshua Academy, it all starts with our mission: to prepare future-ready kids who demonstrate excellence in mind, body and spirit, to boldly engage with the world as image-bearers of Christ.

Research shows that when you teach and nurture a child’s character, academic achievement improves. That’s why two-thirds of what we assess is based on the body (abilities) and the spirit (skills).

We ALL live out our mission every day at Joshua Academy. Not only do we evaluate our students based on the 22 characteristics below, but this is also how we evaluate our teachers and staff as well. We seek evidence (fruit) of these attributes as we strive to be more like Christ.
