Jackson Elementary School seeks to provide a challenging learning environment where all students achieve their maximum potential through the instruction of concepts and skills needed to master grade level standards. The school promotes a community that fosters mutual respect and social responsibility enhanced by a strong partnership between home and school. Jackson students will have the skills, knowledge and confidence to be productive citizens of the 21st century.
STEM education transforms the typical teacher-centered classroom and increases student engagement through emphasis on curriculum that is centered around the student with a focus on problem solving, discovery, and exploratory learning.
Students benefit greatly from STEM programs because they are taught independent innovation and they are allowed to explore greater depths of all subjects by utilizing the skills they learn. In today’s competitive global environment and to prepare students to be tomorrow’s global leaders, these skills are going to be required.
