The Jonathan Edwards Academy Distinctive

Jonathan Edwards Academy is a school that partners with parents who are committed to educating their children in goodness, beauty, and truth. Using a classical curriculum, we seek to teach the traditional liberal arts from a thoroughly Christian perspective.

JEA is a Christian School

A Christian education is one that gives a student the ability to understand, appreciate, and influence the world around them. More than adding a Bible class to the curriculum, JEA seeks to view all of life as a unified whole, with Christ, the Logos, at the center. The Christian worldview is not an alternative or preferred method of viewing the world—it’s the only one that matches reality; i.e., it is the only true one.

JEA is a Classical School

The most distinctive element of any school is its curriculum. JEA teaches a liberal arts curriculum that emphasizes languages, literature, history, critical thinking, mathematics, music, and rhetoric. Read more about classical education here (link to classical ed. page).
