“Great school. A place I can drop my kids off and feel good about what they will experience. Outdoor time, happy teachers, education that is not focused on standardized testing for school funding, freedom to be kids.”

“I am an alum who appreciated my experience at Jordan Glen so much that I did everything I could to be able to send my own children there. This school is a gem and I wish every child was lucky enough to attend and experience the MAGIC that is Jordan Glen. I attribute my time at Jordan Glen with setting me up for a fulfilling life and I am so glad that my children have been able to have an unforgettable, well-rounded school experience there too.”

“My son just started at Jordan Glen this year; before he was in public school. I felt I was constantly asking for better communication and consistency. He would get home from school exhausted from the lack of social time, boredom, and stress. I heard some great feedback from other parents and from adults who went through JG as kids and I was convinced this was the best option. We are now in the school for almost two months and it has exceeded my expectations! I have never seen him more happy about going to school! “

“I am a parent of a recently graduated JG student. This school has been in existence since the 70s and graduated the majority of the IB graduates and future word successes in Alachua County. Sarah Sidner CNN reporter and winner of multiple Journalism awards makes the trek back from CA each year to visit her beloved school. Summer Land, author and social media influencer – JG Grad- wrote about her time at JG in her book Summerlandish. Pulitzer prize winner Jack Davis’ daughter graduated from here the year before my child left. Most of the parents are UF professors, involved in the arts, intellectual and invested in our planet. The extended family involved in the school volunteers their own time and financial resources to the school. The ideal JG student and parent are not mainstream public school America. This culture reminds me more of the schools I have seen in Sweden and Denmark. As in Europe, the kids are treated with respect and given many more freedoms than in public school. This leads to self confidence and curiosity in life. The students who attend tend to come from very educated households and tend to be academically motivated with a love of learning. JG may not be for everyone, but if you value a great education for kids in a safe and loving environment and do not like what you see in public schools- give JG a try. The school is easy to work with, listens and cares.”

“We started at Jordan Glen in the 2020-21 school year because of Covid, as we were looking for a smaller, safer and more outdoors learning environment for our kids. Now that we are there, I don’t see us leaving until each of our kids age out, because they are thriving! They are being taught to think for themselves and are challenged every day to be better humans. They also have a strong sports component that suits my kids well. It is a unique school, and we feel grateful that we found it!”

“I am a student at Jordan Glen School and I love it!! I am in the fifth grade and have been attending since Pre-K. The teachers are so nice and if I could, I would rate Jordan Glen a 100/100. I definitely recommend it for all children!”
