School Notes

  • Jubilee School opened in the fall of 1977 with a bright, enthusiastic group of four and five-year-olds.
  • Using a small space, a few simple raw materials and an abundance of energy and curiosity, the children were daily involved in planning, organizing, discovering and creating.
  • Over the years Jubilee gradually expanded, adding new grades.
  • The goal was to provide an alternative to public school in which the curiosity, creativity and enthusiasm children begin with would be kept alive throughout their school years.
  • Jubilee now offers pre-kindergarten through sixth grade classes.
  • Along with language arts, social studies, math and science, the curriculum includes instruction in Spanish and Latin, music, African dance and drumming, art, chess, tennis and study skills.
  • Jubilee School provides an environment in which children build upon their wealth of creative, intellectual, spiritual and social resources.
  • By respecting how children think and learn, and equipping them with a strong foundation of academic and social skills, Jubilee prepares students to excel and to become independent learners.
  • It is a place where students learn to think for themselves, and build together.
