The Jefferson School is not your typical school. We’ve created a community that values a holistic approach to education. Our students come from a large geographical area, drawing families into the school community from throughout Sussex County (hence the decision to choose a central location in Georgetown). The student-teacher ratio at The Jefferson School is 8:1 through grade 3 and 14:1 for grades 4-8. These ratios allow for intense one-on-one instruction. We seek cultural and economic diversity among our students, who are of average and above-average ability.
The Board of Directors has established a scholarship fund to help foster this diversity among our student body.
Some students with disabilities require significant instructional support. The public school system is designed for and has the capabilities to provide those unique supports. Therefore, as a general rule, we do not recommend that students with significant needs enroll in The Jefferson School. However, we make every effort to assist parents in identifying needs and, whenever possible, will work with area school systems to accommodate those needs.
