We cultivate the joy of learning in a safe, loving environment through our developmentally appropriate, vertically aligned curriculum that is designed to reach each level in your child’s educational journey. Building a strong foundation within our youngest students, our expectations grow as our children do in preparation for Middle School. Our curriculum integrates all subjects while emphasizing biblical learning.
OUR ACADEMIC CURRICULUM
The Jackson Prep Preschool
PreK-3, PreK-4, Kindergarten
Jackson Prep Preschool takes a “whole child” approach to development and ensures every student receives opportunities to grow emotionally, socially, physically, intellectually, and spiritually. Our program is committed to educational excellence through developmentally appropriate, play-based experiences with an emphasis on biblical teachings and principles.
A day in the life of a Prep Preschooler includes hands-on exploration, foundational academics, art and music enrichment, and biblical learning. Through outdoor play in our mud kitchens, planting gardens, green spaces, and playgrounds our students are afforded daily opportunities for independent thinking, problem solving, and socialization. Our bright and airy learning spaces foster imaginative play and creative thinking.
The Jackson Prep Lower School
Grades 1-4
Jackson Prep Lower School’s day centers around experiences that ignite lifelong learning and empower and encourage our students to become independent thinkers while understanding the value of working together.
Our curriculum challenges students while providing them with the support they need to achieve success. The skills students develop in the Lower School provide a springboard for learning that is vertically integrated with the Jackson Prep Middle School expectations. Our students use their acquired skills to think critically, creatively, and collaboratively, and ensure they are prepared to enter the next phase of their education.
