Description

Jefferson Academy encourages and provides growth in basic skills, with a fundamental approach and utilizes Core Knowledge. The Core Knowledge Sequence is a detailed sequence of specific content taught in language arts, history, geography, mathematics, science, and the fine arts. This curriculum provides a solid, coherent foundation of learning, while allowing flexibility for innovation for JA's educational leadership.

In addition to Core Knowledge, Jefferson Academy emphasizes the teaching of basics skills with a traditional and conventional approach, in a self-contained educational environment. Our academically-oriented program is organized so that the entire class generally works as a single group on grade level material with ability grouping occurring where necessary.
