When students believe in themselves, what we do together is always greater. JA stays ahead of the curve so that each student is equipped for the future. Your child's success is our everyday endeavor as we inspire them to lead a life of purpose and significance. Upper School students mentor kindergartners, and our crossing guard welcomes families walking their children to school from the surrounding Sheffield neighborhood.
In our classrooms, each teacher's expertise becomes your child's opportunity, and each child's unique gifts become a path to purpose. Our community celebrates every student, cheering them on to a life grounded in character, compelled by curiosity, and inspired to achieve more every step of the way.
