Mission Statement
The Connections Middle School Program (JLS Connections Program) is a learning community of students, teachers, and parents where hearts and minds are inspired through inquiry-based instruction — focused on student choice, cross-curricular units, collaboration, and presentation — fostering self-directed, reflective, global citizens.
About This Cause
The JLS Connections program is a learning community of students, parents, and staff where we inspire hearts and minds through innovative practices, including project-based learning, differentiated instruction and leadership development. The JLS Connections program focuses on project-based learning, emphasizing choice and responsibility. Through challenging, innovative, relevant teaching practices, and curriculum aligned with state and district guidelines, students become life-long learners who are well prepared for future academic, social and global challenges. The Connections Program aims to create a “village” – a small community of teachers, students, and parents, within the larger school community. We Believe In: - Teaching for Thinking: Connecting Hearts & Minds - Meaningful, Challenging, Relevant Curriculum: Connecting the Curriculum - Teachers as Mentors/Coaches: Connecting Students & Teachers - Collaboration and Cooperation: Connecting the Learning Community - Parent/Teacher/Child Community: Connecting Home & School - Connecting Curriculum & Community Collaboration and cooperation are an important part of the Connections Program philosophy. This extends to parent support for students and teachers, which at the program level is organized by the JLS Connections Board, a 501(c)(3) organization. The board works to raise funds to support program initiatives, organizes program-wide social events, and aids communication both within and about the Connections program.
