Preschool in Stone Mountain, GA 30088
The mission of the Decatur Adventist Junior Academy (DAJA) is to create an environment in
which students develop a love for learning, acquire a strong knowledge base that fosters high-tech
skill development, and strengthen their abilities to advance in a competitive and global
marketplace.
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.

We believe that Christian education enables, refines, elevates and gives true meaning to education.
God’s ideal for each of us is to reach higher than our highest possible thoughts. Open before
each teacher and student is the textbook of nature with each lesson designed by the Creator.
There is no art or science apart from Him.
Christian education has a definite purpose, a specific goal and an eternal meaning. The purpose is
character formation, restoring the image of God in man. The characters we form now will decide
our destiny. The goal is dedicated service, with integrity and proficiency, to our fellow man as
unto our Maker. Christ, our example, served unselfishly with his whole life. Christian education
must understand and teach what life means in relation to eternal realities. It is not just to attain
our highest potential in this life which we will soon pass through, but to prepare the student for
the transition to his/her eternal home.
