What We Do

At Joy Villa School (JVS), our primary focus is to provide high-quality and affordable education for kindergarten, primary, and junior high school students. We also offer sponsorship opportunities to bright but disadvantaged learners, ensuring they can access the education they deserve. As passionate advocates of the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC), we encourage our students to explore and develop their talents in performing arts, drawing, sports, music, and farming???.

We strive to nurture each child's unique interests and skills through the CBC approach. Our commitment extends beyond academics; we are dedicated to shaping well-rounded individuals by fostering academic success and emotional, spiritual, and social growth.
