I give because "I feel warm here" was the first impression of our older son who transferred to Jackson School in the middle of 4th grade. This is a school that not only provides rigorous academic curriculum, rich art, and music programs, fun and learning extracurricular activities but also embeds high moral values such as integrity, courage, respect, fairness, honesty, and compassion in daily school life. It is a great inclusive community that we are grateful to be part of.
