Our Story
The founder and Head of School (and driving force!) of JGS is Dana Herzberg. In 1999, Dana first founded On-Track Tutoring with the vision of helping struggling students achieve academic success. Over time, through her teaching, tutoring, and educational consulting experience, Dana recognized the need for a different kind of school in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. In 2010, JGS was founded in order to fill the need for an educational environment dedicated to highly capable, motivated students who have learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, or anxiety. We’ve built our reputation by employing only outstanding educators and using state-of-the-art, research-validated curriculum. JGS parents have high standards and expect proven outcomes for their children, and JGS delivers!
