I was with the Joshua Institute back when they were small and still named “Idaho Learning Center.” I spent several years there. I will try to be as unbiased as I can be, even though I was a student, not a parent. If your child has learning issues it is actually more common than parents think. Some children have learning issues even in a public school and never know, depending on the severity. If your child has severe learning issues the Joshua Institute does have unique teaching styles (Like G.E.T. and therapy) and also will cradle them. If your child has minor learning issues Cole Valley Christian is connected to Joshua Institute and also has special classes for learning disabilities with also providing a place similar experience to a large school. There are good things about J.I. like less homework, easy classes and enabling children who could never pass to make it here. All of this comes at a cost, however. J.I. is just like other schools. They have bullies, terrible influences like minor drugs, some teachers have been abusive (yelling and some physical contact.) and if your child is very lazy they will not be forced to learn as much as they should. My last concern is religion, most students are Christian and love the classes but if not, some children suffer a lot. One child got his feels hurt over being Mormon and not Christian, be careful with this issue. My final recommendation is that if your child has minor learning disabilities try Cole Valley Christian first to see if they fit in well. If you decide to send your child to Joshua Institute keep a close eye on them every day and make sure they are learning what they need and enjoying the school. Please try your best to give them the best education as you can, they deserve the best for them, so wherever you put your child be careful and watch them closely. I would only recommend Joshua Institute to children that have nowhere else to go.

I can not say enough good things about the Joshua Institute. Their programs, their educators, their personalized approach and passionate hearts for giving struggling learners the tools and support needed for success.

Kinda gay NGL, not enough children for us priests

Struggling students succeed at the Joshua Institute.
