ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW

At the ANN JERKINS-HARRIS ACADEMY OF EXCELLENCE (formerly the Academy of Educational Excellence), we are proud to provide our students with the opportunity to learn alongside a diverse group of children and families who reflect the racial, cultural and socio-economic diversity of the communities surrounding our school.

Our standards-based program provides an academically challenging, creative and emotional supportive environment for our students and is designed to continually expands a student’s knowledge and understanding of concepts, ideas and information.

Our differentiated teaching-learning approach is the cornerstone of our instructional delivery at our school. We offer our students the strategies for gathering information, a classroom climate of shared inquiry, and hands-on experiences making use of a variety of materials. Teachers design projects to promote collaboration between students, connect concepts between curricular areas, and anchor state standards in meaningful contexts like those students will experience in their lives beyond the classroom. Projects will be shared with our community in performances, simulations, art shows, and displays as we celebrate together the continuing joy of lifelong learning.

The ANN JERKINS-HARRIS ACADEMY OF EXCELLENCE is designed for families who are seeking innovation in education. Through our Personalized Learning Model, students participate in enrichment classes in the core subject areas of language arts, math, social studies and science. We offer a wide range of programs plus onsite intervention and enrichment curricula, including technological resources. The school provides high-quality and state adopted curricula.

AT AJHAE WE ARE AN EXTENDED FAMILY TO YOUR OWN FAMILY!
