Jackson Heights School, as an advocate of lifelong learning, supports students to be independent thinkers and responsible citizens in a positive, challenging and diverse learning environment.  We believe that this goal is realized by emphasizing teaching excellence through development of individual expertise and team collaboration; successful learning where students are challenged to become engaged learners as expressed in a variety of ways; citizenship and healthy living. 

We strive to create a positive learning environment where students, as responsible global citizens, feel accepted and safe.  We feel that a strong sense of community is developed through school-wide events, classes working together and celebrating our diversity. 

We recognize that information literacy is essential for students to become life-long learners who ask questions, think critically and problem solve in our knowledge-based society.
