The Dean’s Office at The King’s Academy is led by Stephanie Huber and Stewart Joslyn, who are passionate about supporting students through the challenges and growth of junior high and high school—all with Christ at the center.

Stephanie Huber has served in Christian education since 2006 and joined TKA in 2018. A San Jose native, she holds a degree in Communication Disorders from San Jose State and a Master’s in Educational Leadership from Concordia University. She and her husband have three children and have been married for 25 years. Stephanie is passionate about guiding students and families through adolescence with faith and compassion.

Stewart Joslyn has been at TKA since 2011, originally as a teacher and coach. He holds a Social Science degree from Azusa Pacific and earned his Master’s in Educational Leadership from Concordia University Irvine in 2024. Stewart and his wife, both former TKA teachers, have two young children. Now in his 15th year at the school, he considers it a privilege to walk alongside students during these transformative years.

Whole-Student Wellness in a Christ-Centered Community

As Deans at The King’s Academy, we’re here to walk alongside you—supporting not just your academic journey, but your emotional and spiritual well-being too. We partner with students, families, and teachers to make sure no one faces challenges alone.

Whether you're dealing with health issues, emotional struggles, or simply need someone to talk to, we're here to listen, encourage, and help you move forward.

Our door is always open—and we mean that. If you or your student could use support, don’t hesitate to reach out

 

Philosophy of Discipline

Discipline That Shapes Hearts and Builds Character

At The King’s Academy, discipline is rooted in love, grace, and the desire to help students grow in character and Christlikeness.
 

We believe correction should be restorative, not merely punitive—an opportunity to guide students toward responsibility, reflection, and reconciliation.

Through consistent expectations, compassionate conversations, and a partnership with families, our goal is to shape hearts, not just behavior, and to equip students to make wise, God-honoring choices.

Spiritual Life & Relational Ministry

Relational ministry is at the heart of TKA’s mission. Through chapels, retreats, and other programs, the Spiritual Life team fosters connection:

  • Between students and staff

  • Among peers

  • And most importantly, between students and the Lord

We believe small, consistent investments in relationships cultivate deep faith and a strong sense of belonging.

On-Campus Christian Counseling

TKA partners with the Christian Counseling Center of San Jose to offer free, faith-based counseling on campus.
  • Sessions are held after school on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays

  • Appointment times: 3:00, 4:00, and 5:00 p.m.

  • Six free sessions per student

  • Limited availability

To request counseling, contact Dean of Students Stephanie Huber at stephanie.huber@tka.org or ext. 4280.

Emotionally Safe Environment

TKA is committed to a school environment free of harassment, including racism and bullying. Such behaviors contradict our Christian values and will not be tolerated.

To report incidents, students can:

  • Speak directly to the appropriate Dean

  • Use the STOPit app for anonymous reporting of bullying, cyber abuse, discrimination, or to ask for help

Consequences may include disciplinary action up to and including suspension, expulsion, or legal referral, depending on the severity.

Our goal is to ensure all students feel seen, supported, and safe—online and on campus.
