Overview
The mission of Jefferson Christian Academy is to assist students to become leaders through service to God and humanity.
This is accomplished through an integrated program that includes distinct spiritual/moral, mental, physical, work, and social/leadership educational components.
We strive to create opportunities for students to practice becoming increasingly self-sufficient, self-supporting, literate, informed, responsible, and productive members of a global society.
We prepare and encourage our graduates to pursue further education (liberal arts or vocational college) and find to avenues and professions in which they may serve others while preparing for Christ's soon return.
Jefferson Academy seeks to provide a Christ-centered curriculum and program of activities, using the inspired counsel given to the church as well as appropriate secular theories, in its implementation.
Our philosophy is to teach the beliefs, ideals, and customs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, as well as to lead its students to ascertain and accept, in practice and sentiment, the mind and will of God as revealed in His Word.
The Oaks Adventist Christian School opened in the fall of 2003.
The school opened with a vision to serve Houston families who were looking for alternatives to public school, and wanting their children to learn in a spiritual environment.
As a growing school we are excited about the opportunities which God has given us, and believe that this is His school with a plan greater than ourselves.
The elementary program at The Oaks is run by experienced, energetic faculty.
Our student focused approach allows for accelerated students to join other classes, as well as make modifications as needed for others.
The classrooms are Christ-focused with a balance of center based and teacher directed education.
Our High School program is developing and full of energy.
The first graduating class was in 2007. The program is on a development plan to be accredited as a full senior academy within the next 3 years.
The program includes all criteria of the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists as well as meeting all Texas state requirements for college prep diplomas.
