About This Cause
JLS offers a balanced instruction program of academic skills and classes for breadth and enrichment. We have a rotating 7-period schedule with each period meeting four times per week. Sixth grade students usually share two core teachers for five periods. They also have one period rotating between music and physical education, and one period of the exploratory wheel (a rotation of seven electives classes). Seventh and eighth grade students take four core classes, physical education and two periods of electives. Our elective programs are outstanding and provide all students with choice. They include design & technology, studio art, multimedia art, band, choir, orchestra, computer programming, web design, drama, cooking, industrial technology, marine biology, creative writing, leadership, yearbook, French, Japanese, and Spanish. JLS also has a variety of more than 20 student clubs and other extracurricular activities. In order to succeed, students, families and staff must work together. We are committed to innovation, creative thinking, thoughtful change, community service and academic excellence. We value honesty, hard work, a positive attitude, diversity, intellectual rigor, reflective communication, flexibility, and a focus on our greatest asset--our students.
