Academics

At the University School of Jackson, our academic program is designed to prepare students at every stage of their educational journey for success in college and beyond.

Our college-preparatory curriculum is thoughtfully developed and continually evaluated to ensure students experience purposeful and engaging learning. From our youngest learners through high school, students are encouraged to explore their interests, develop their talents, and build the skills needed to think critically, communicate effectively, and lead with confidence.

USJ faculty challenge students to achieve at a high level while also providing the support and mentorship they need to grow. Through rigorous academics, meaningful relationships, and a commitment to excellence, we cultivate curiosity, character, and a lifelong love of learning.

Early Childhood

Infants - Jr K

The Early Childhood program is a progressive, child-centered approach that lays the foundation for learning and prepares students for lifelong learning. 

Lower School

Kindergarten - 5th Grade

In the Lower School each child learns from a curriculum that allows students to construct knowledge through exploration and to develop as thinkers, problem solvers, and explorers. 

Middle School

6th Grade - 8th Grade

Students in Middle School are directed through a challenging, yet nurturing program to meet their distinct needs as they progress from the Lower School’s developmental approach to learning to the content-based curriculum of the Upper School.

Upper School

9th Grade - 12th Grade

USJ’s Upper School prepares students with the academic skills and habits needed for success beyond graduation.
