The Jasper Learning Initiative is ideal for students who can relate to the statements below...
  • I prefer projects and authentic assessments over tests.
  • I am interested in my school work having connections to the real world and my own community.
  • I am open to collaborating with other students, teachers, and members of the community.
  • I am prepared to take the core courses taught at the college preparatory level.
  • I am a curious student with my own unique passions.
  • I prefer a smaller, more intimate program that still allows me to be an Emmaus High School student.
