Welcome to The Jones-Gordon School
From the first visit, families feel it: the joy, the purpose, and the power of a school that sees their child. Here, students build confidence, find their voice, and rise to meet real challenge—with trust, encouragement, and belief in their own potential.
At The Jones-Gordon School (JGS), we offer a transformative educational experience for students with average-to-gifted cognition who have dyslexia and related learning differences. We lay a strong academic foundation in the early years and continue to challenge students with increasing depth and rigor as they move through Middle School and into our college-prep High School.
Each stage builds on the last—nurturing curiosity, sharpening critical thinking, and preparing students to thrive in college and beyond. Some students begin their journey with us in the earliest grades, while others join later — drawn by the small classes, deep academic engagement, and meaningful relationships; regardless of when they arrive, every student finds a place where they are challenged, inspired, and truly known.
Core Academic Divisions:
Personalized. Purposeful. Powerful.
Our divisions are intentionally designed to support, challenge, and inspire students at every stage of their academic journey. Each level builds on the one before—cultivating curiosity, sharpening critical thinking, and preparing students for confident, independent futures.

Lower School
Grounded in the Science of Reading, our Lower School blends structured literacy with conceptual, inquiry-based math, hands-on science, and interactive social studies. With a balanced integration of technology and a high-play approach, students engage in creative projects, diverse specials, and meaningful peer interactions that foster curiosity, connection, and confidence. Learning is joyful, developmentally appropriate, and deeply rooted in discovery.
Middle School
Middle School students thrive in a collaborative, student-centered environment that emphasizes cross-curricular connections and critical thinking. With integrated humanities, level-based math placement, rotating enrichment courses, and a strong peer community, students develop the skills and confidence needed for both academic and personal growth.
High School
Our rigorous, college-prep High School offers a highly personalized experience where students are known, challenged, and supported. Small class sizes, expert instruction, flexible academic pathways, and engaging electives create an environment where students are prepared not only for college—but for life beyond it. Meaningful accommodations allow students to hone their strengths while receiving the support they need to thrive—building confidence, resilience, and readiness for the road ahead.

“My daughter had such a GREAT week!!!!! She loves all of her teachers, loves her new school, and really likes her new classmates. Each day when I picked her up from school she just gushed about how much she likes it. She feels right at home; it’s as though she’s been at JGS all along. It’s been a very smooth, seamless transition.”
