Jack Jackter is a HOT (Higher Order Thinking) school and includes an emphasis on arts integration and a democratic school culture. They have numerous opportunities for student development, including Production Companies, After School Clubs, band, choir, and the CLIMB enrichment program. Being an intermediate school (grades 3-5) they are able to place more emphasis on student independence and responsibility. They make an effort to differentiate work according to each student's abilities, offering more challenging work when needed. We have been very happy with Jack Jackter so far. Close Quote
