Thank you for visiting our website. Jenkintown School District boasts many academic and co-curricular accomplishments each year. We are proud to showcase our schools through this site and encourage you to explore the many links and resources herein.
Jenkintown Middle/High School is home to a state of the art media/arts center that houses our maker-space lab, opportunities for technology collaboration, and outstanding research and presentation spaces. With a 1:1 Chromebook program, students are able to utilize this space as a technology center for innovation and creation.
Our Theater Arts and Music Programs continue to thrive and participation rates are extremely high for these activities. We look forward to another great Renaissance Night and International Festival this year. These events bring together our wonderfully supportive learning community.
The elementary school continues to provide a strong and engaging instructional program that serves as a foundation for our middle and high school curricula. We are committed to providing diverse experiences for students to grow as readers, writers, mathematicians, and problem solvers. Our program is enhanced with the integration of elements of science, technology, engineering, and design. In addition, all students attend weekly special area classes that include library, physical education, art, music, and Foreign Language in Elementary School (FLES). Beginning in kindergarten, students have opportunities to perform for the larger school community. These range from choral concerts in the primary grades, to a Wax Museum in third grade and a school play for students in grades four to six. Because we are a small community, our students have many occasions to engage in community service projects that serve the families and citizens of Jenkintown. Many of these projects have supported the Breathing Room, an organization that provides food and services for families who are impacted by cancer.
The community of Jenkintown is very supportive of our schools and programs and we are appreciative of its involvement. Jenkintown is a unique district, steeped in tradition, with strong educational values and community presence. We sincerely hope you visit our town and schools to explore firsthand all that Jenkintown has to offer.
Sincerely,
Dr. Jill A. Takacs
Superintendent
