About Us
Formation of Jackson Christian School
Jackson Christian School began as
Jackson Baptist School in 1972. The school was born by God’s grace as a
result of the efforts of concerned parents and ten area churches. Jackson
Christian enjoys the freedom of educating children with a biblical worldview
in every respect. The school is non-denominational; with a student body that
represents over 45 area churches. All faculty, staff and board members must
be in complete agreement with the school statement of faith, philosophy of
education and lifestyle statement. This agreement of faith and goals amongst
school staff, parents and our governing board creates a unique family
environment which serves children from Christian families with academic
excellence, transforming faith and preparation for life.

Biblical Worldview Statement
A biblical worldview is the most important element of a Jackson Christian School education. We teach a biblical worldview in every classroom, in every discipline in every grade. Deuteronomy 6: 6-8 expresses the absolute importance of teaching our children biblically, where it says, "Write these commandments that I've given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get them inside your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning to when you fall into bed at night. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder; inscribe them on the doorposts of your homes and on your city gates." The Message
In the New Testament Colossians 1:18 states, that Christ should have first place in all things. A biblical worldview is clearly defined in the JCS Biblical Worldview Statement.
