A global online international school for students in Grades 5–12
Joy Academy Online is a California-registered non-profit international school, founded in August 2025 and based in Irvine, California. We serve students in Grades 5–12 through a bilingual, AP-aligned online curriculum that nurtures the whole person — mind, heart, and spirit. Built by educators with over 16 years of international experience, we exist to make transformative, high-quality education accessible to all students, wherever they are.
Our four core values — Love, Integrity, Faith, and Excellence — spell out Joy LIFE: the kind of life we want every student to live. We try harder every day to embody these values in everything we do.
Compassion and care for every member of our community
Honesty and ethical conduct in all we do
Trust in timeless principles that guide our lives
A commitment to the highest standards in learning and character
Five lifelong skills every JAO graduate carries into university, work, and life.
