CURRICULUM
Jackson Prep’s primary mission is to prepare students for college. Therefore, the curriculum is challenging and broad, emphasizing a liberal arts and sciences education. The school year is divided into four nine week reporting periods. A six-week summer session is offered for additional credit. AP and Honors programs are offered in mathematics, science, English, social studies, world languages, and studio art. Classes meet on a rotating seven-period schedule. Because of the school’s selective admission policy and the strong competitive performance of its students, Jackson Prep does not rank students except for designation of valedictorian and salutatorian at graduation.
DUAL ENROLLMENT
Courses offered for university-level dual credit include: Engineering, English Composition, Graphic Design, and Trigonometry.
