FROM OUR STUDENTS

"We got to benefit from this team by learning time management skills, collaboration skills, and presenting skills."

"I have absolutely LOVED my experience on Team Jaguar! The learning atmosphere is AMAZING and the teachers ROCK! The way the program is structured really helps students take control of their education and learn many important skills that they can later implement in life. Summit Learning (the learning management system on Team Jag) is easy to use and shows students everything they need to do to complete the year. This allows students to visually see what assignments are coming, when the deadlines are, and what they need to do to get it done instead of simply being told. Between the incentive programs, friendly competition between the color groups, and bonds that Team Jag students share, Team Jag is definitely the way to go if you want an amazing middle school experience!

" My favorite part of the year is group projects. It gives you the opportunity to do hands on learning with other peers. I also loved the collaboration privileges, it gives you the ability to work with other students on content so you can master it."

Being on Team Jag has been such an amazing experience for me. I finally found a place where my education wasn't limited by textbooks and deadlines. Being able to work at my own pace and not feeling either held back or rushed all the time has made me remember why I love school. Thank you. I absolutely LOVED my time here and the teachers are awesome.

"I loved Team Jag because I could work at my own pace. I also got to choose who I worked with and what I worked on. So if I was getting behind in math I could spend more time on it."

"It allowed me to work ahead and gain a sense of independence in my learning."

"Then, in the eighth grade, things shifted for me, because I had a lot of changes going on, and so the team became even more of an extended family, with fun courses, challenging yet influential lessons, and still amazing teachers."

"Go team Jaguar! I love our space. I like how we can learn at our own pace, learning to pace yourself, and have one on one help on a subject in a core class!!!!"

"I love Team Jaguar and I wish that I could be on this team all through high school!"

"As an eighth grader on Team Jag there were struggles and hardships, but through it all our amazing teachers helped me even when I thought I wouldn't make it through eighth grade."

"I really have come to appreciate the skills we have learned that don’t pertain to the four core subjects, such as time management and how to work with others. I feel like I’m being prepared not just for the next grade, but for the real world. Being on this team has made me step out of my bubble and learn to work with others besides my friends, and I think that’s been really good for me."

"This team is project based so you are able to build skills that you would need for the future. The projects are the funnest part of the team."

"The teachers you work with are amazing and love to help. You don't have to work alone if you don't want to, and you can go to classes to get additional resources and help!"

"I love team jag!! All of the teachers are really great and know exactly how to help! This program is really great, It is a great way to learn and it is so much fun!"

"Jag is Amazing!! Jag is a team where you create close relationships with your friends and teachers. Being on jag has really made coming to school a bit more fun than normal."

"I love Team Jag! You have way better relationships with the teachers. It is also a very good learning experience because it teaches you how to work on your own and with groups of people!"

"Jag is such a safe place. It helped me feel like I could really trust the teachers and know that everything is okay. They really helped when I needed it and helped me become more open minded about situations."

"I liked how well my teachers knew me and how much they cared. They helped me with the content but also with how to be more independent and disciplined."

"I love being on team Jag because I know that the teachers really care about us and really want us to succeed in life. Being on team Jag has taught me my learning style, and how to work under stressful situations. Team Jag is AMAZING!"

"My experience on Team Jag has been nothing but great! I loved this team because I could work at my own pace and this allowed me to get ahead!! Not to mention it has the best teachers I have ever met! They are always there to help you when you need it!

"I have loved being on the Jag Program. I have been able to grow and learn so much in the past two years of being on the team. The teachers are super supportive of you and will help you get through the school year. If you work hard, they will push you to work harder and to get more done."
