Jackson Academy is an independent day school in the heart of Jackson, Mississippi, helping students reach their highest potential and succeed through their college years and beyond. In 1959, Loyal Bearss made a bold move. Convinced that phonics, in-depth reading, time for play, and exploration of the arts all contributed to stronger student success, he and ten area families founded JA. It’s a spirit of innovation in education that still lives in us today. JA has forever changed the landscape of education in Jackson — providing a place for children to discover their unique set of talents and understand how those talents will drive life choices.
To ensure the quality of our educational programs – from K3 through twelfth grade – Jackson Academy is a leader in accreditation among independent day schools. We are accredited by or serve as an active member of the following organizations:
Within our nurturing and spiritual community, Jackson Academy inspires and equips each student to lead a life of purpose and significance.
The JA academic experience focuses holistically on student learning success. Our college-prep curriculum prepares JA grads for more than college admittance.
We develop students who will thrive and succeed. Across the divisions, we emphasize:
These are the skills that separate young people who have mastered a set of facts from those who are prepared to lead. Our teaching practices nurture a love of learning and exploration that transcend simple knowledge acquisition. Because children’s developmental and social needs evolve as they age, we organize the JA academic experience into four distinct divisions
