- From the child-centered environment in the Lower School to the college advanced placement courses in Upper School, USJ offers each child an education that will prepare him or her for college…and success in life. USJ gives each child the resources he needs to succeed and to develop his full potential. USJ teachers and staff work in partnership with the parent and child in providing an education that goes beyond a strong curriculum. We share parents' values as we emphasize character education and helping each child make the right choices. Grounded in Judeo-Christian values, USJ provides an environment that stresses a respect of one another and of all religions.
- Our Mission: The University School of Jackson, a distinctive college preparatory school, seeks to instill a passion for academic excellence and lifelong learning so each student will reach his or her maximum potential.
- The USJ campus includes a Lower School, which opened in August 2004; an Upper/Middle School, which opened in October 1997; and an extensive athletic complex.
- A member of the TSSAA, USJ fields 29 teams in 11 sports at the Middle and Upper School level. In the 2005-2006 school year, USJ athletes won four state championships and were runners up in two other competitions.
- USJ is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
- All USJ graduates meet college entrance requirements; the Class of 2006 is attending 32 colleges (from Arizona to Maine) and was offered $2.3 million in scholarships. USJ SAT and ACT scores exceed state and national averages. USJ has more students recognized by the National Merit Foundation each year than any other school in the area.
- The Fine Arts program includes annual music productions in all Lower School grades, Middle and Upper School musicals, art in all grades, band in Middle and Upper School, acting classes, and an extensive music program. The Upper/Middle School has a 500-seat theater; Lower School productions have a stage as part of the Lower School cafetorium.
- The Guidance Program includes full-time guidance counselors for all students and a College Advising program in the Upper School.
- Each year, about one third of the seventh grade class qualifies for the Duke Talent Identification Program.
