AJS has been a great environment for my son. I selected this school for him during the school choice enrollment before he started Kindergarten and I am so glad I did. The teachers and staff are enthusiastic, kind, and care about his well-being. They are very communicative also. Even with virtual school, I can see he has made a lot of progress academically. He is now in second grade and loves his school.

I hate to hear this school is the same as some schools in Mount Juliet. Nope, not having my kid be among this kind of toxic environment. I will put her in private school. Thanks Angie.

This is a 'members only' kind of school, if you get what I mean. You've pretty much gotta' be a cookie-cutter type to fit in here. This in no way means you have to be perfect, just pretend you are like the others:)
