How We Work With Students
We partner with workforce development and community organizations to give high school students a personalized option that helps them reach their goals.
The Unconventional Path Takes Courage To Choose. Let’s Help Students Choose It.
JMCS is a charter school equipping 14- to 26-year-olds to earn a high school diploma and prepare for a fulfilling career through job training and educational, social, and emotional support that fits into their lives.
We make high school
practical – and profitable.
We don’t have to conform to fit in here. Our school gives 14- to 26-year-olds with diverse academic needs a personal, flexible, and rewarding pathway to graduation.
We open up
exciting career paths.
Every JMCS learner receives active — and often paid — job training. We partner with local workforce leaders looking to hire our students onto their teams.
We prioritize
everyday wisdom.
We intentionally practice skills that matter at work and in our personal lives. Our curriculum is designed to support financial goals and social-emotional health as part of academics.
We build
purposeful community.
We take the time to learn about and share our stories. Connected by respect and guided by love, we push each other because of and regardless of our experiences, skills, and dreams.
