Our program is centered around passion-based projects. JOLA students have opportunities to explore, hypothesize, question and discuss their passions and interests while teachers facilitate, observe and document. Teacher’s observations, combined with student input, create the basis for our unique approach to curriculum. It is the children’s ideas and passions that guide individual and classroom projects. Our goal is to discover and deeply understand each child, including what they love, and how they learn best.

Students are introduced to beginning literacy, math, and science concepts, all in a warm, nurturing environment.
