JMJ Cooperative Philosophy
-
A flexible educational environment where students are exposed to the best of homeschool and classroom instruction via a hybrid schedule.
-
A rigorous academic curriculum prepares all students for post-secondary education, meaningful employment, civic involvement, and a lifetime of service.
-
A comprehensive education that honors the students’ needs for unstructured play, time in nature, socialization, leadership, creativity, and personal accountability.
-
A learning environment with high moral values as taught and exemplified by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ.
-
A family’s right to be an integral and motivating force in their child’s education; that children are ultimately accountable to their parents and God for their learning and behavior.
