Jackson Preparatory Magnet’s after school program offers both academic and enrichment opportunities for students in grades 1 - 6. Academic classes are designed primarily to serve children who are not at grade level in reading and/or math, but all students are eligible to enroll. Participants receive one hour of academic assistance along with one hour of enrichment every day.

Sign up for the Fall Session will begin in September 2009.  *Students may join the after school program at any point during the school year, but registration forms must be returned one week before a child can begin participating.

Fall enrichment classes include: Jump into Fitness, All about Art, Teen Zine, Hmong Dance, and Science Adventures. 

Each year, Jackson Preparatory Magnet collaborates with Washington Middle School to offer opportunities for Jackson fifth and sixth grade students to visit and take part in activities at Washington. The program is designed to help our older students make the transition to a middle school environment.  Activities will include family nights at Washington, intra-school activities, and summer opportunities.

Program is provided through partnerships with the following organizations: University of Minnesota Extension Services- 4-H Urban Youth Learn, University of Minnesota America Reads, The St. Paul Conservatory of Music, Hmong American Partnership, and Area Learning Center.
