At Jeffersontown High School, students are immersed in the full Academy of Louisville experience. We know that our students can do it all, and we provide them with an array of opportunities to do so. With award-winning arts and music programs, a variety of dual-credit and Advanced Placement (AP) offerings, a wide variety of sports and clubs, and unique work-based learning opportunities, there is truly something for everyone at Jeffersontown High School.
Students will spend a year adapting to high school and exploring career options in the Freshman Academy. From there, students will become a member of a small learning community by entering the Build and Design Academy or the Business and Health Science Academy.
Within their Academy, students will partake in challenging coursework while also learning about potential career paths. They will also be given opportunities to make connections between the real world and the classroom through experiences and collaboration with business partners.
Students will leave Jeffersontown High School with a sense of purpose and, more importantly, the skills and knowledge necessary to be a productive member of society—whether they will be joining the workforce or furthering their education.
