ISJ Academy 2066 Oakwood Avenue Northeast, Grand Rapids, MI 49505

"ISJ Academy was an amazing choice for our children and for our family! The education they received was stellar. The teachers, staff and families truly became our village through the joys and hardships of every stage of parenting over the years! Partnered with it's two supporting churches (Immanuel Lutheran and St James Lutheran churches) ISJ Academy is there to support your child and your family in body mind and spirit!"

"There are so many reasons to love this school. Academically, ISJ is second to none. My kids learned Greek and Latin roots, cursive, geography and how to properly write and cite a paper. All 3 of my children went through ISJ and it wasn’t until they went on to other schools that they started to really understand and appreciate the level of education they received. But beyond the academics, this school is like a family. I have made life long friends with many of the parents and we still stay in touch even though our children are no longer at the school. The teachers are passionate and care for your children like their own. This school is truly GR’s best kept secret."

"Our two kids started the preschool program this past Fall and it has been an absolutely wonderful experience! The teachers care so much about their students and you can really tell they love their jobs. My kids are excited to go to school in the morning and recently they don’t even want to leave when we go to pick them up because they have so much fun. We get daily updates about what they did in school and awesome pictures! We feel so fortunate to have found ISJ Academy!!"

"Both my kids attended ISJ and we very much enjoyed our time there. After being there for 10 years it was very hard to say goodbye. I loved the small size, you really got a chance to know all the kids and their parents. There are so many opportunities to be involved as a parent, which I loved. They have wonderful, fun, caring teachers. If you are looking for a Christ centered education at a much more reasonable price than most private schools, you can't go wrong with ISJ!"

"Our family has sent three of our four children through ISJ Academy, starting with Preschool and continuing through eighth grade. I can say wholeheartedly that our kids have received a top-notch education while nurturing and solidifying their faith in a Savior who loves them unconditionally. We wanted our children to have a faith-based education from the start, and ISJ's low tuition made that a possibility - other Christian schools in our area were asking for twice as much in tuition costs. Our third child struggled with school, and her early teachers and support staff went above and beyond to make sure she didn't fall behind - their encouragement and persistence is the reason she's earning top grades today. ISJ has such strong community - this proved to be key during the COVID-19 pandemic. ISJ was able to continue teaching our kids remotely from the very start of the shut down, when most area schools were closed completely for weeks. Staff members are outstanding - I couldn't ask for better role models for my children. Class sizes are small enough that children who excel (or fall behind) are given attention and schoolwork equal to where their skill level is. All in all, an outstanding school."
