Welcome to Decatur Adventist Junior Academy

An Adventist EDGE School of Excellence

The Decatur Adventist Junior Academy (DAJA) founded in 1996, provides an excellent choice of education to its community, church, and nation.  Our school mission and goal is to educate the mind, heart and soul of students in a challenging, stimulating, and nurturing environment.  As a result we provide Christ-centered activities, encourage academic excellence, and promote good work habits, self-discipline, personal growth, human relations skills, and specific moral values. We believe that true education is the harmonious development of the whole being--mental, physical, spiritual, cognitive, emotional, and social. Thus, our goal is to daily nurture young children; to develop their sensitivity to the needs of people and help them realize work and service as a way of life. This is the catalyst that fuels and strengthens their intrinsic values and self-worth to be responsible citizens and active contributors in the communities in which they live.

Since its inception (DAJA) has strived to be a school of excellence.  We have expanded our horizons to great heights and most recently were awarded the Adventist EDGE School of Excellence.  DAJA is the only school presently in the South Atlantic Conference of Seventh-day Adventist and the second in the Southern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventist to accomplish this prestigious honor.  In addition,the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) along with the Accrediting Association of Seventh-day Adventist Schools, Colleges and Universities, Inc. and the National Council for Private School Accreditation currently accredit us.

We realize the awesome children's ministry we provide and are very excited about all the wonderful things that are taking place at DAJA.  If you are seeking an environment that will promote spiritual and academic growth, please don't hesitate to contact us.
