With this in mind, our core curriculum provides every student with a strong foundation in English, math, science, history, and foreign languages. Honors programs and advanced placement classes are available in all major areas.
Prescribed help is available for students with learning differences and special needs.
Supplementing our core curriculum is a broad array of electives in the fine arts, business, journalism, and physical education. We are confident that the academic preparation our students receive at Prep is unparalleled. One indicator is that Jackson Prep is one of only two Mississippi schools to host a chapter of the Cum Laude Society, the high school equivalent of Phi Beta Kappa. Another is that, since 1970, more Prep students have been named National Merit Semifinalists than students at any other school in Mississippi, public or private. As our students leave Prep for college, many receive prestigious academic scholarships and attend some of the nation's most respected institutions.
