Our son has been a student at JGS for 4 years now and the change has been absolutely remarkable. While there is no "perfect" school, I have to say, this is pretty darn close. The staff is beyond caring and so intuitive, the teachers are beyond amazing and the best part is the kids are KIND. Children are children and when they come upon a rough patch, ours included, everyone at JGS has been there to help get things back on track, with kindness, complete professionalism, and always with the intent to help and advance the child. You couldn't find a better and more uniquely qualified school in the Valley.

The Jones-Gordon School is a school like no other. The school exists because of one person's dream to make learning accessible and fun for kids who learn differently. The type of smart, sweet kids that would fall through the cracks in larger educational environments. I am so privileged to work with a group of kind, caring, professional, and talented individuals. The teachers here are pros at delivering the right type of educational environment to engage, challenge, and support our diverse learners. One of the best parts of working at JGS is our JGS families! The support and gratitude they show us is incredible. The whole JGS community from Our Head of School, support staff, teachers, students, and families makes for an amazing place to work!

JGS is a magical place. I love our "culture of kindness" and feeling of family. I am so grateful to work here. The students are hands down THE BEST kids! They care about learning and each other and work so hard to overcome their varying challenges. The parents are equally amazing and essential members of the "JGS village." The teachers are caring professionals who genuinely appreciate their students' unique differences and strengths. I deeply value the professional learning community formed by the administration and teaching staff and feel so lucky to be able to work and learn from these amazing people. I have used the word grateful already in this review but I need to express it again. I am so grateful for JGS.

JGS provides an excellent academic environment with talented teachers, small class sizes and differentiated instruction that is truly tailored for individual student needs. My son is a recent JGS graduate and had a fantastic experience during his three years in high school. He went from dreading going to school because of social anxiety to enjoying it and taking ownership of his strengths and skills. He is planning on continuing his education at the college level, thanks to JGS.
