Please pray for our student, Kristoffe who is in the hospital. He took sick on Friday evening with seemingly some kind of seizure. When he went to the hospital he was twisted at his neck, could not move and lost eyesight for awhile.

He is currently in the hospital, he did blood test and now he has to do a CT scan before the cause can be determined. We need to find the money first to do this test as soon as possible or else he will not be released from the hospital.

We are thrilled to welcome four new teenage students for the Fall 2010 Semester. Check back for photos and detailed info about them.

Jamaica Christian School for the Deaf is a residential facility that caters to the needs of hearing impaired children.
We also have students with other disabilities such as mental retardation, autism and cerebral palsy. These students number in the minimal.

JCSD is located in the cool hills of St. James, in a farming community named Eden and as the name suggests, it is beautiful. Here the environment is suitable to good health and conducive to learning.

JCSD is one of twelve schools for the deaf on the island, one of five schools for the deaf run by church ministries and one of three schools serving the western region of the island. We cater to the spiritual, academic , social and moral needs of our students who range from 2yrs. – 18 yrs. We involve our students in many activities to build experiences thus making them well rounded and knowledgeable.

We are supported mainly through donations from church bodies and a few corporate bodies.

As a learning institution, we are striving to seek out and educate children who are deaf. We are striving to put in infrastructure that will allow us to better able serve our students, so that these children can become productive, independent citizens of society.

We instill in our students a sense of self-worth, knowing that they can, hence, the newly penned motto “Not disabled, just differently-abled.”

We thank God for Mission Discovery! They were the first missions group that visited our campus this year. Thanks to their hard work we will be moving into one room of the Early Childhood building by the end of the month. Read about other recent ministry teams.		Early Childhood Development Project: This building is in the beginning phases of construction. It will eventually house the pre-school, kindergarten and a special unit for students with learning disabilities. Contact us if you are interested in helping with this project or take a Visual Tour of our Campus.		God has blessed us with four new students to welcome to our school family this upcoming fall! We are looking for sponsors who will support our new and existing students financially and with prayer and encouragment. Read more about our students
