JESM SDA

Our curriculum is aligned with the Common Core Curriculum State Standards and the standards developed by the North American Division of Seventh Day Adventists Education Department.
Lesson designs follow the 4MAT natural learning cycle that connects the learners to the subject matter through their individual learning style. Our schools uses a balanced literacy model that tracks early reading development through the DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) in Grades K-6. The online Lexia and Reading Plus programs further enhance the comprehension skills of the Pre-K – 8th grade students. This balanced literacy model program focuses on teaching students specific comprehension strategies that connect them to the text. A word study program, FUNDATIONS, launches early readers into the reading process.

In addition to our rigorous academic program, JESMS has a tremendous extracurricular program offering: Robotics, Engineering class offered for credit, a Garden Club, a School Choir, a mentoring program, and community volunteering opportunities for students.
