Juneau's Public Charter School

OUR MISSION: A partnership of students, families, staff, and community-engaged in hands-on, creative, collaborative, place-based learning.
Directed by an elected committee of parents and teachers, JCCS is a public school in Juneau, Alaska. Our Charter allows us the flexibility to customize curriculum to meet the unique needs of our students and families. We build community amongst students, employ small groups whenever possible, include art and music in multi-grade classrooms, and provide plenty of time for hands-on exploration. JCCS supports and is supported by families who want a higher degree of involvement in their school.

Exploring Nature
Every day we go outside, rain or shine. Students are given the time to exercise, play, and cooperate with each other. Our location in downtown Juneau gives us easy access to trails and streams.

Projects
Projects are a core part of our curriculum. They allow students to merge literacy, math, science, social studies, and other content areas helping them construct a more thorough understanding of the concepts they’re exploring.

All-School Centers
During “centers” students choose which experiments to work on. Student-choice increases engagement and retention. Centers range from basic math and logic games to dissecting machines or fish.

Small Groups
Whenever possible students are placed into mixed groups based not only on skill but for peer modeling so that students can learn with and from each other as well as develop the trust that helps them take risks.

Art, Music & Creativity
Whenever possible, we integrate art and music into our classrooms. Singing, playing music, and artistic expression helps students build creativity and fundamental skills.
