The Jefferson School Team

The "Differences as Strengths" multicultural studies program enables students to take part in a year-long study of a given country. Participating students at The Jefferson School will learn to appreciate a country's unique traditions (art, music, etc.) through daily learning opportunities. The program will allow students to draw comparisons and appreciate differences between another country's culture and their own. Since the program's inception three years ago, the school has experienced enhanced student performance, improved attendance, and the majority of students working above the state standard in the areas of foreign language, music and art. The school's entire population of nearly 115 students will all greatly benefit from this year of multicultural appreciation.
