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.

At Laura Jeffrey Academy, we believe students should not just be passive learners but active changemakers. By centering and honoring their voices in every aspect of our school, we empower them to think, dream, and do—not just in middle school, but for a lifetime.

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.
