Directors Letter

From The Desk of The CJROTC Program Director

The Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps of Christian Schools (CJROTC) Program serves to develop informed and responsible citizens as well as a deep sense of pride and character in High School Students. It is a unique program that stresses the learning of leadership skills that will enhance the lives of the young teenager, male and female, who participate.

In order to fulfill its mission, the CJROTC of Christian Schools Program seeks to teach and instill the following:



·        EVERY Cadet is taught…Character Education, Bearing, Unselfishness, Student Achievement, Discipline, Organization, Wellness, Leadership, Judgment, Justice, Loyalty, Diversity, and Decisiveness

·        EVERY Cadet is instilled with…Self-Motivation, Initiative, Responsibility, Courage, Wellness, Leadership, Loyalty, Integrity, Goal-Setting, Team Work and Diversity.



Our partnership with schools across the United States is a phenomenal leadership education program meant solely to develop character and citizenship, and simply make better all-around individuals. Of course, our comprehensive learning environment, anchored in a military structure, is not for all students. There is a body of dependable academics knowledge that clearly articulates the significant benefit to those students that do choose to participate. The CJROTC Curriculum was the first to be nationally accredited under AdvancEd and is directly linked to National Standards. Responding to local challenges, the CJROTC Program can be implemented in any one of several configurations to include a traditional model, cluster, school within a school, and the stand-alone Academy.

In a Private School environment of fiscal challenges, many schools and school boards find a partnership with the CJROTC Program is a cooperative attractive relationship, allowing them to provide more curricular and extracurricular options in which are not to say “throw away classes’. The CJROTC Program provides high school credits to each student who takes the class yearly. The CJROTC Program of Christian Schools, and Hosting Schools, both share common and unique expectations. Your CJROTC Program will be expected to not only excel during the school day but also maintain vigorous extracurricular drill team supporting the Program of Instruction (POI) and being active in community activities/events. School support for the CJROTC Cadets and their activities is expected to be on par with support given to others in common activities within the hosting school.

Each hosting school is contractually obligated to execute the program as intended and reflected in the Headquarters CJROTC-POI, provide the facilities and support agreed to, and maintain minimum numbers of qualified participants. Here at the CJROTC of Christian Schools Program, our door is always open to discuss concerns that may reflect the ever-changing social context of public education. We are not adverse to changes in contractual agreements when mutually agreed to. With the same degree of resolve, however, we maintain the expectation that the contractual obligations of both parties under the public law will be fulfilled and that the execution of the CJROTC Program of Christian Schools POI will be as directed and that facilities and other support arrangements are provided as intended                                                                                                                         

                                                 “Our Mission Statement Is Simple...We Build Better Individuals”
