Our Story
“For such a time as this” - Esther 4:14
​
After our son Stefhen Jones was born, the Lord began stirring a vision in our hearts, a school created especially for children with special needs. Through our journey as parents, He opened our eyes to the need for a place where children would be seen, understood, supported, and reminded daily that they were chosen by God with purpose.
What began in Stefhen’s life and in our personal experience has grown into a calling much greater than ourselves.
​
The Chosen One’s was born from the belief that God chose us, as parents, as leaders, and as a community, for such a time as this. He has entrusted us with these precious children, and we are stepping forward in faith to build a private school that will serve special needs students alongside typical learners, offering academic excellence, therapies, behavioral support, and a nurturing Christ-centered environment.
​
We invite you to partner with us in making this vision a reality, because every child deserves to know they are chosen.

With gratitude,

Founder's Story
The vision for The Chosen Ones began with a little boy named Stefhen Jones.
Stefhen is my son, and he is the reason this school exists. As his mother, I have walked a journey that many parents of children with special needs know all too well — a journey filled with love, prayer, challenges, and faith.
Stefhen has autism and is nonverbal. Communication has been one of the greatest struggles in his life, and as his mother, it has often been one of the greatest hardships in mine. There have been moments of uncertainty and deep heartache, wondering how to best support him and help him navigate a world that does not always understand children like him.
But through it all, my faith in God has remained my foundation. I am a praying Christian, and I believe with all my heart that God created Stefhen with purpose. Even though he does not speak, I hold onto the hope and faith that one day he will find his voice.
Stefhen’s life opened my eyes to something much bigger than our own story. I began to see how many families were searching for a place where their children could be supported, understood, and truly included. Too often, children with special needs are overlooked or misunderstood in traditional educational settings.
That realization stirred a calling in my heart.
The Chosen Ones was created out of that calling — a school where children of all abilities can learn together in a Christ-centered environment, where they are not defined by their challenges but celebrated for who they are.
My prayer is that every child who walks through our doors will know they are seen, valued, and loved. I want them to know that they are not forgotten and that they are, in fact, chosen by God for a purpose.
This school exists because of Stefhen — and because of the belief that every child deserves a place where they belong.
Sincerly,
Joyce Jones
