Andrew Jackson Middle School is helping all students develop World Class Skills of the Profile of the South Carolina Graduate by providing opportunities of teaching and learning together in, with, and through the Arts. Our signature programs in the Arts, such as chorus, dance, theater, and visual arts, reach many students and give the community and school a point of common interest. Arts Integration is used as an academic intervention to reach students gifted in multiple intelligence areas beyond the arts programing provided to all students. The guidance department here at AJMS, provides career exploration and events such as job shadowing opportunities, tours of our high school and the district's career center, classroom guidance lessons, and Individual Graduation Planning conferences. We have technology integrated across the curriculum and students are using their assigned chromebooks daily to work independently and collaboratively. We value partnerships and stakeholders who are invested in the success of our students as we strive to help our students become college and career ready. As we continue to work together, we find successes in our efforts to create lifelong learners and prepare our students for the rigors of high school.
