“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.”

“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.”

“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 is the best thing that has happened to my children. I have 2 kids enrolled there now. They are so happy. My kids look forward to school starting each fall. Where else can a kid get a great education and get to swim on Fridays!? JG is run by a family, and every child is considered a part of their family. Jeff, the founder of the school, loves all the students at JG, and they love him too. Class sizes are small so each child gets personal attention from their teachers. Students are allowed to learn at their own pace. If they are ahead in a subject, they don’t have to wait for their classmates to catch up, they can simply move on. Children are encouraged to be creative and share their passions. Parents are encouraged to volunteer and teach electives each semester. I personally taught an elective there and greatly enjoyed spending time with the students. There is no other place I’d send my children to school!”

“The way I sum Jordan Glen up is with the following example. There is an orange tree outside of the school. When all the oranges were ripe, the children picked and ate them. As the lower oranges disappeared, the bigger kids helped the smaller kids get the higher ones. When the higher ones disappeared, the biggest kid got a ladder and got the very highest ones down and shared them with the other kids. It operates as a family. Everyone is welcome to share and learn together. All of the teachers and children know each other. Before JG, our children were at another pre-school in town for several years (from ages 2-5). We did not have a positive experience there and our children displayed signs of anxiety, stress, and developmental delay with actual schoolwork such as math, reading, and spelling. We switched to JG halfway through Kindergarten and Pre-K and immediately noticed a difference. The children were allowed to feel comfortable in their own skin. They weren’t labeled. They weren’t put in time out for the slightest issues. They were allowed to simply exist comfortably. As a result, they were able to learn schoolwork and, more importantly, how to be good human beings. Our oldest’s math, reading, writing, and other skills immediately shot through the roof and she is now considered advanced for her age. Our youngest, who was labeled a behavior problem at the previous school became a campus wide favorite at JG. “

“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.”
