Welcome to Joy Christian School!

In just one decade Joy has become one of the leading Christian schools in the entire Phoenix valley! We are humbled by the amazing growth and the level of superior Christian education provided by our faculty and staff. We now serve all ages from infants through high school and are fully accredited by ACSI (Association of Christian Schools International). We are blessed by a school community that is caring, compassionate, and committed to healthy, strong relationships providing the best life learning, education experiences possible. Our close partnership with Community Church of Joy provides a vast array of opportunities that are unavailable to standalone Christian schools--just check out our brand new Youth Center and visit with our Youth Pastor, Chris Ozorio. For our younger students we have a fabulous Children's Ministry led by Sue Abram.

Our mission is to build Christian leaders who are becoming God's family to bless the world! At Joy Christian School we prepare our students to successfully meet the challenges of today and tomorrow through the provision of a superior academic education which is founded in strong Christian values in the Lutheran tradition. We are committed to the education of children and young people spiritually, intellectually, physically, socially, and emotionally. The students' achievements and joy of learning is optimized and facilitated by supportive faculty, staff, administration, peers and parents and a challenging and exciting environment.

We would love for you to visit us in person! You will find joyful faces, new friends, new connections, and great families! We would welcome the opportunity to have you within our school community, partnering with you to build a new generation of Christian leaders!

In Christ,

Nate Kretzmann
Executive Director
