JPS Montessori School

JPS Montessori School The Montessori method emphasizes individualized learning through all five senses. Respect for the student is the core, and independence and choice are the key.

Students' creativity is fostered and appreciated, and learning is exploratory and fun! The Montessori method emphasizes learning through all five senses. Children in Montessori classes learn at their own pace and according to their own choice of activities. Learning is an exciting process of discovery which leads to self-discipline, concentration, motivation, and an enduring love of learning. JPS Montessori offers the Young Fives program, affording children an extra year to gain confidence, academic, social and emotional skills, independence, problem solving skills, and fine/gross motor development. The Primary Curriculum (5 to 6 years of age) focuses on readiness, socialization skills and provides varied levels of exposure to academics that prepares each child for their educational journey. The Elementary Curriculum (6 to 10 years of age) combines 1st through 5th grades in multi-age classrooms. Hands-on math, science, and language arts are the cornerstones of the innovative and comprehensive Montessori Method. The academic curriculum also aligns with Michigan State standards and frameworks. Spanish language and integrated cultural studies, including history and geography, promote global awareness and 21st century skills. STEAM and P.E. classes are also part of our specials program.

🎓 100 ALUMNI. $100 EACH. ONCE A VIKING - ALWAYS A VIKING. 🧡🖤

As Jackson High School prepares to celebrate 100 years in 2027, we’re inviting our alumni and JHS community to help us mark this incredible milestone by investing in the next generation of Vikings.

Our goal is simple: 100 alumni giving $100 to support the JHS Centennial Scholarship Fund. Every contribution will help provide scholarships to JHS/JPHS students, which will be awarded at the Ambassador Dinner.

Whether you graduated last year or decades ago, this is an opportunity to honor the school, the people, and the experiences that helped shape generations of Vikings.

💵 Prefer cash or check? Donations may also be mailed to Jackson Public Schools at the address listed on the flyer. Checks should be made payable to Jackson Public Schools.

Help us reach 100 alumni and create a legacy that carries the Viking tradition forward.

Once a Viking, Always a Viking. 🧡🖤

We are so excited to announce that Calvena Mahoney was chosen by audition to perform in the ensemble with Sutton Foster (the famous Broadway actress) at the Wharton Center on October 3rd.

40 total students were selected from the entire state to be a part of this ensemble. We are so incredibly proud of Calvena and excited for her to have this amazing opportunity.

Calvena has been a member of the JHS choirs since her freshman year and has earned frequent honors for her singing. She has earned top marks at music theater solo and ensemble and classical solo and ensemble every year and was selected for last year's All-State Jazz honors choir.

Hispanic Heritage Spotlight: Dr. Ellen Ochoa 🚀

Today, we’re celebrating a trailblazer in science, engineering, and space exploration!

In 1993, Dr. Ellen Ochoa became the first Hispanic woman to travel to space when she flew aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery.

Before becoming an astronaut, Dr. Ochoa was an engineer and researcher. She later went on to become the first Hispanic director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, helping lead one of the nation’s most important centers for human spaceflight.

Her story is a powerful example of where curiosity, education, perseverance, and big dreams can lead.

✨ During Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate people like Dr. Ochoa whose achievements continue to inspire future generations.

From JHS Choir teacher, Mr. YuhaszPratt:

“These students were so nervous and emailed back and forth with me many times with their audition videos as we worked on improving all the minor details. It was such a pleasure to get to call them to inform them of their success, they were all so excited! I am SO PROUD of these students.”
