Support The Jones-Gordon School
Fueling potential. Empowering futures.
JGS is dedicated to cultivating students’ strengths and potential.
At The Jones-Gordon School, we believe every student deserves to be understood, supported, and challenged. We exist for bright learners—especially those with dyslexia and related learning differences—who need a school that sees their potential and helps them achieve it.
Gifts to JGS are more than charitable contributions—they are investments in human potential. Your support sustains the individualized instruction, expert educators, and nurturing environment that define our school. With your help, we ensure that students who learn differently have access to the tools, experiences, and encouragement they need to thrive—not just in school, but for life.
As a small, independent school, every donation has a direct and measurable impact on our students. From essential academic programs to enrichment, from scholarships to speech and executive function support, your generosity touches every corner of campus life.
