​WHY JOY ACADEMY?

  • Are you concerned about your child’s education and how they are doing in school? 
  • Are you worried about the pressures of high-stakes testing and hours of homework that begins in elementary school? 
  • Are you fearful of programs that are being supported or pushed by our national or district entities? 
  • Do you believe in a God who cares about your family? 

If you answered ‘yes’ to these questions, consider becoming part of the JOY Academy of Southern Nevada: a faith- based K-12 private, nonprofit school. We believe that we learn best when we are engaged in hands-on activities. Students can accomplish more when they have a say in their learning and when they are creating: as they take charge and have a voice, they find the JOY of learning. 
We are committed to empowering students to become lifelong, self-directed learners.

ARTICLES OF LEARNING

LEARNING IS A JOYFUL JOURNEY
We believe that we each learn best when we have God as part of our life. 

We believe that families and children should have choices and have a voice in their education. 

We believe that our children are more important than any test. 

We believe that technology is a tool and will never replace a good teacher. We will be masters of technology, but it will not be our master. 

We believe that if you can take a field trip, you should.

We believe homework should be minimal: reading what you want to read, and doing activities related to your learning that can involve other family members.
We follow Nevada State guidelines for Emergency Operating Procedures:  NRS 388.253 and 394.168 to 394.1699.
