At JA Latchkey, we prioritize education over recreation in our curriculum, focusing on fostering our student's love of learning and intellectual curiosity. Each week, we select a theme to guide our programs and activities, incorporating math, science, cultural studies, and cooperative learning lessons to ensure a well-rounded educational experience. Our lessons are designed to be engaging and fun, with each topic paired with a related activity that reinforces the lesson and keeps students motivated and excited to learn.

We also recognize the importance of reading and dedicate 10 minutes daily to silent reading, encouraging our students to explore various genres and develop their reading comprehension skills. In addition to our regular programming, we offer a variety of special events throughout the school year, including cultural celebrations and guest speakers.

During the winter months, we provide specialized courses in robotics, sign language, Young Rembrandts, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). As technology continues to be a leading area of global development, we strongly emphasize STEM education as an integral part of our curriculum, equipping our students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in an increasingly technological world.
