Welcome to Junior Academy.

When I founded Junior Academy, I wanted to create a school where children could be understood for who they are, not simply measured by how they learn in a traditional classroom. I believed that every child has strengths, challenges, and a unique way of learning, and that with the right support, every child has the opportunity to thrive.

That belief continues to be at the heart of Junior Academy today.

We are intentionally a small school because we believe that children do best when they are truly known. Our teachers take the time to understand each student as an individual and provide the academic, social, and emotional support they need to build confidence and reach their potential.

Just as importantly, we believe that school should be about more than academics. We want our students to feel that they belong and to develop self-confidence, independence, empathy, and a genuine sense of responsibility to the community around them. Every child has something important to contribute, and we make sure they have the opportunity to do so.

After all these years, I am proud that the vision behind Junior Academy remains the same: to create a school where children are understood, supported, and given the opportunity to become the very best version of themselves.

A website can tell you what we do, but it cannot fully capture what makes Junior Academy special. I encourage you to visit us, meet our students and teachers, and experience our school for yourself.

We look forward to welcoming you to Junior Academy.

Warmly,

Dianne Johnson
