Academic Program
The Jackson Hole Community School is committed to the highest standards of education, which will lead to a life of intellectual exploration and learning. We encourage our students to be independent thinkers who embody a sense of personal integrity and an understanding of fairness and justice. We value respect for each individual and embrace ideas and opinions that are different from our own. We encourage our students to succeed individually and to develop skills which will help them to become positive members of a team and a community. We believe that a worthwhile educational experience that fosters continued learning requires a collaborative effort from the school, the home, and the community.
