Jefferson Terrace Academy

21st Century Educational Experience

We offer creative spaces for engineering,
robotics, STEAM and arts integration.

Jefferson Terrace Academy has been educating students since 1958 and recently moved to its new home within the same neighborhood. It is a social hub for the Jefferson Terrace community, and it offers a 21st-century educational experience for students. We believe all students can achieve!

from the principal

We strive to create well-rounded individuals that are capable of becoming productive citizens while reaching their potential. Our students will be confident in their abilities and skills to take on any challenges of the 21st Century and beyond. We believe that providing students with the right opportunities can open doors that they never imagined. In addition, we value high-quality customer service while partnering with the stakeholders to have a sense of belonging in our school community. 
 
At JTA, we are “Creating lifelong learners. Every student. Every day. Whatever it takes!”
