OUR PHILOSOPHY

At JOY Academy, we focus on learning, not testing. We don't believe students are ever "behind".

We offer an environment that aims to support each student as being learners and engaging with their world. In support of our belief, we have Family Days or field trips every Friday!

We use Waldorf-inspired curriculum: Our curricular and educational practices include methods commonly commonly found in Waldorf schools, focusing on the whole child: head, heart and hands. Waldorf is considered the fastest-growing independent school movement in the world. Our teaching allows us to tie back to the Waldorf values:
  • Family and community life
  • The healthy unfolding of childhood
  • Joy in the learning process
  • An education focused on wholeness in body, soul and spirit
  • Intellectual excellence, imagination, strong memory and problem-solving skills
  • A viable alternative to high-stakes testing
  • Age-appropriate use of media
  • The training of ethical and moral judgement

We also teach and practice Stephen R. Covey's 7 Habits for Happy Kids to help our students in becoming future leaders:
  1. Be Proactive
  2. Begin With the End in Mind
  3. Put First Things First
  4. Think Win-Win
  5. Seek First to Understand Then to Be Understood
  6. Synergize
  7. Sharpen the Saw
