Our Philosophy
Smaller learning communities: Teachers of science, social studies and language arts team together to provide interdisciplinary learning activities to cohorts of students, developing students’ academic relationships with teachers and peers.
Dream, Explore and Learn. We want students to dream they can be whomever they want to be and do whatever they want to do. Explore and try new experiences and to not be afraid to fail. We provide students with extensive opportunities to explore new activities and skills, possibly encouraging them to fall in love with something they can pursue for the rest of their lives. Lastly, we want all students to learn . We believe that every student must have access to a guaranteed and rigorous curriculum, allowing students to leverage their learning in their future endeavors.
I love all of the different people here and all of the different communities they come from.” —JCMS student
