I just started my first college English class, and let me just say thank you! JSP perfectly prepared me for this, and everything we're learning here seems like it should be common knowledge (how to research, compile data, and create a bibliography) and is putting me WAY ahead in this class. :)

The flexible, yet structured method of the JSP will help
youth learn skills and mindsets needed to succeed in life and learning.
Discovering purpose helps youth find
enjoyment and satisfaction in life and learning.
As a homeschool parent of high school-aged youth, you've likely wondered how you can teach appropriate high school level topics without being an expert in everything.
How do you keep his or her attention and help them see the beauty in learning?
Teenagers aren't always likely to seek out learning for themselves.
You've tried different methods, different styles, but there's something wrong with almost everything.
Don't just give your youth a workbook.
Help them build an education.
The Jefferson Scholar Program helps you teach scholar skills and mindset so your youth can choose the next level.
To learn these skills, we use language arts and social studies (adding science soon!).
It gives a youth time and space to chase his or her curiosity to become truly invested.
No regurgitation of information here!
For Youth:
Empowers youth to take responsibility for their own education
Opportunity to practice lifetime study and work habits
Improves problem solving, critical thinking, and decision making skills
Investigate interests rather than regurgitate objectives
Enjoy beautiful learning
For Parents:
Youth are empowered to take ownership, allowing parents to watch their child grow
Parents and youth learn together
The basic schedule can be customized to you and your family
Parents/facilitators learn a lot from their youth
Opportunity to be PAID
