Embedding Diverse Perspectives in Our Curriculum

At Laura Jeffrey Academy, we embrace diverse voices and perspectives all year long. We honor cultural heritage months such as Black History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, Indigenous Peoples’ Month, and more, because these months offer important opportunities to uplift historically marginalized voices. However, we also believe our scholars deserve to see themselves reflected in their learning every day, and not just during a special celebration.

Building Relationships, Not Just Rules

Kids make mistakes—it’s part of growing up. At Laura Jeffrey Academy, instead of focusing on punishment, we focus on learning, reflection, and repairing harm. Our approach to scholar behavior is based on restorative practices, which emphasize accountability, empathy, and relationship-building rather than punitive consequences.

Something truly magical happens when different subjects come together in the classroom. Sparks fly as students embark on a journey of discovery and collaboration—making connections between their learning and the real world. LJA is a place where imaginations soar, boundaries fade, and every lesson becomes an adventure filled with wonder and possibility.
