The Purpose

While students are sent to the JJAEP for disciplinary reasons, it is not the job of the faculty to punish them. Their punishment is being separated from their home campus. The job of the faculty is to assist students academically and socially by helping them with their academic assignments; finding and helping them with their bank of basic academic skills; and by positively enabling them to reflect on the choices they made that brought them to the program. The goal is for each student to return to their home campus completely rigor, and empowered with a plan to avoid the behaviors that brought them to JJAEP.

JJAEP Academic Philosophy

JJAEP is a campus that works to motivate at-risk students by providing structure and discipline in a rigorous academic environment.
