Jasper Learning Initiative Enrollment/Admission Process
1. Learn about Jasper.
There is a lot to learn! It starts with Mr. Mihalik visiting the middle schools for presentations and includes virtual open houses, one-on-one meetings, a parent session, and checking our resources on our website.
2. Apply to Jasper.
If you'd like to join Jasper, please apply here: Jasper Application 2022-2023
We will accept the applications on a rolling basis until February 28, 2022. After February 28, students can only be accepted into Jasper if there is room in the program.
3. Go through the Emmaus High School registration process as if Jasper did not exist.
When signing up for courses for 2022-2023, pretend Jasper does not exist. Pick all the courses you would take. If accepted into Jasper, the high school counselors will then add you into Jasper's courses. The courses you pick will be your backup plan in the event you change your mind at a later date.
