The Jonesville Academy offers educational programming for boys and young men, with an aim to provide opportunities that connect them with leaders, mentors, and educators from different backgrounds and engage them in content that celebrates culture while equipping them for academic and career success. The youth in the programs learn from certified teachers and receive mentorship, along with the opportunity for additional support for parents and within schools.
Primary Subject Areas
(1) Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math
(2) Reading and Writing
(3) Exploring Languages, History, and Cultures
Instructors
Experienced K-12 teachers deliver the Jonesville Academy curriculum. Thanks to the generous support from Warren County Public Schools and Bowling Green Independent School District, up to nine instructors will be recruited for the program. In addition, the Jonesville Academy partnership with the College of Education and Behavioral Sciences encourages WKU student teachers to assist in the classroom.
