ACADEMICS
"Let this mind be in you which
was also in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 2:5
An MJCA education is
a Christ-centered education that directs the process of human development
and learning toward God's objectives for the individual student. The school's
first goal is to encourage each student to develop a personal relationship
with Christ. It is a fundamental objective of the school to help bring
students into full conformity to the image of Christ.
The
challenge for any educational system is to inspire each student to desire
academic excellence. As partners in building Kingdom Leaders, school and
home can encourage and motivates students to discover the joy of learning.
98% of MJCA students attend college and enter into challenging fields
of study. One of the reasons why our students are able to do this
is due to the opportunities to receive college credit while in high school.
Seniors can graduate with up to 27 college credits in math, English,
history, and speech. The avenue of earning these credits is through
Dual Enrollment courses and Advanced
Placement courses.
At Mt. Juliet Christian Academy a faculty of certified, loving teachers
is committed to helping students get wisdom and understanding through
the academic process.
Standardized Testing
The Stanford Achievement Test is administered to all MJCA students in
grades 1-11 at the end of each school year. Scores provide comparison
with both national and Christian school test norms. The test data gives
us a look at the overall effectiveness of our school's curriculum as measured
by national norms. By carefully tracking scores from year to year, we
are able to pinpoint areas in our curriculum that may need enhancement
as well as other areas where we are doing an exceptional job. The achievement
test gives us data that allows us to evaluate our curriculum direction
on an ongoing basis. We know we have an above average group of children
due to their home environment and broad level of experiences. Excellent
teachers and a solid curriculum also result in strong test scores. Our
history of test scores have been consistently above expected levels of
performance.
