Thomas Jefferson is designed to serve
students from all over the world during

in the United States. Our multicultural,
multilingual school offers eligible students
unique cultural and English immersion
experiences in a supportive and nurturing
environment that embraces ethnic and
linguistic diversity.

is committed to accelerating English
language acquisition and providing

Special Programs
A Safe Haven.
Our school serves students from preschool to grade 12, and provides a safe
emotional haven during their first school years in America. Students are grouped for
instruction by grades, levels of English proficiency, and their individual needs.
• Students in grades PreK-8 exit the school based on individual academic progress
at the end of the first or second school year to an elementary school of choice.
• High school students receive an individualized secondary curriculum designed
to help them graduate—from this school or another high school of choice—and
ensure a successful academic pathway to college and career.
