Learn about JGS
Our mission
The Jones-Gordon School cultivates the strengths of high potential, motivated students; students who have dyslexia and related learning differences such as ADHD or executive dysfunction. We create student development through targeted educational programming.
Our students
Bright. Kind. Creative. Collaborative. Excited to Learn. This is JGS.
Our students are intelligent (possessing average to gifted cognition), out-of-the-box thinkers who learn a little differently, so we’ve created a school just for them—a school tailored to meet the needs of students with language-based learning differences (dyslexia) and/or attention challenges (ADHD).
Please know that JGS is not designed to meet the needs of children whose educational plan focuses on improving conduct or children who are struggling with school avoidance. Prospective students with behaviors that impede the learning environment of other students are not considered for admission.
Professional Recognition
The Jones-Gordon School is proud to have earned accreditation through Cognia, (formally known as AdvancED Performance Accreditation).
In addition, JGS is an approved private day school through the Arizona Department of Education, registered with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and is a College Board® secondary institution member.
