History of JASA

  • In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, and recognizing the need to provide educational options and opportunities with flexibility for scheduling and pacing to meet the learning needs of all students, Jackson-Madison County Schools proposed JMC CyberSchool in July 2020 as part of the District’s Continuous Learning Plan as a “school-within-a-school” program model.

    Our Cyber teachers received on-the-job training throughout the 2020-2021 school year, vetting programs, testing strategies, and working in professional learning groups to share data and improve instructional strategies to create a unique school that meets the needs of Madison County students and families through innovative practices.

    The community has responded positively to the idea of a home-based learner-paced online curriculum delivered virtually. As a result, the district formed the Jackson Academic STEAM Academy, or JASA, to open in August 2021. STEAM represents Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics, which aligns with our vision to prepare students for a technology-driven future.
