Academic Success Center
Empowering students to unleash their potential for optimal achievement.
At Jackson Academy, our commitment to providing an education to all students is core to our culture and mission statement. Through our Academic Success Center program, we offer several tiers of instructional support to qualifying students. The purpose of the tiered support is to meet the student where they are currently functioning, supporting the whole child on their educational journey.

One of our children began struggling academically as soon as he got to JA. In stepped the Academic Success Center. This program has made all the difference in the world. He is a much more confident and well-adjusted child with a totally different outlook on school. Not only was JA confident in its ability to help our son, they have truly loved him every step of the way.
