About the Provider
Jin-A is a religiously oriented school. Our philosophy is based on a multi-religious approach called "Unificationism", a wonderful blend of basic principles from many religions. This philosophy provides the foundation for each child and each staff member to live and practice, grow and pray in his or her own faith, and in harmony with other faiths. The virtues of love, faith and hope are our unifying goals and are the basis of loving and caring relationships.
