“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! “

“Jordan Glen’s impact on the lives of my children is immeasurable. The nurturing, creative, and highly skilled teachers made all the difference! They prepared my children for rigorous academic work in high school and beyond and nurtured a love for learning, creative endeavors, sports, and community. I simply cannot imagine our lives without Jordan Glen.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Jordan Glen made me the person I am today! A truly special school that focuses on creativity, fun, and personal responsibility.”

“My children have attended Jordan Glen since pre-K. They are now in 6th and 8th grade. I feel blessed that they have never been bullied, and have always been excited to go to school. I think the outside setting and frequent outdoor activities are good for their bodies and souls. Advantages: small school, feels like family, in a beautiful outdoor setting, lots of traditions, respect for diversity, focus on teaching children to be good citizens: care for each other, mentor younger children, be kind.”
