About Us
Not disabled, just differently-abled
Our vision is to become the premier educational institution for the Deaf in Jamaica, providing first class values-based education and training, built on a spiritual foundation that will motivate towards self-actualization and service to society.
Our Mission
The basic aim of Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf is to develop a well-integrated Christian person, morally upright, emotionally mature, and ready for the outside world. In order to do that we strive:
To provide experiences, which will help students to understand who he or she is, what they are worth in society and how to maintain and live a Christian life.
To develop the intellect, cultivate skills, create abilities to discover talents and promote a sense of value.
To foster good attitudes that will lead to social awareness, self-discipline and willingness to serve with a view to leading a useful life.

More About JCSD
Statement of Faith
The Bible is God’s Word. It is true. His words govern our lives. God is the one true God. He has always lived in three equal Persons: the Father, Jesus Christ His Son, and the Holy Spirit. God loves all people. He wants us to be right with Him, but our sin blocks the way. However, because of His love for mankind, He sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay for our sins. Nothing else but the blood of Jesus can take away all our sins.
our core values
