Jackson Academy

Before summer officially arrived, Jackson Academy's first graders made sure to send it off in style, transforming their classrooms into a campground complete with tent-style desks for the last full week of school. Students carried on with their schoolwork from inside their makeshift tents, blending the routine of the classroom with the spirit of the season in one of the more creative sendoffs the Lower School has seen. Jackson Academy prepares students to succeed not only in the classroom but in every arena life puts in front of them. Here at JA, even the last week of school becomes an adventure worth remembering.

Slam Dunk Boys Basketball Camp brought rising third through seventh graders to the hardwood for a week of skill building, competition, and hoops led by the JA varsity basketball staff alongside current and former Raider players. Campers worked through fundamental training before breaking into age groups for skills competitions and games ranging from one on one all the way to five on five. It was the kind of week that makes players better and leaves them hungry for more.

Dribble and Shoot Girls Basketball Camp is back, led by Lady Raider head coach Henry Gantz. Rising second through seventh graders will spend three days working through the fundamentals of dribbling, passing, and shooting before putting their skills to the test in one on one and five on five games, Hot Shot competitions, and Free Throw challenges. It is a tradition at Jackson Academy and the perfect place to begin your journey as a Lady Raider. Camp runs June 15-17 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
