My kindergartner came home after 2 months of schooling there and had the following conversation with me. Me:"Here are some coins for you, go place them in your bank" S:"Thanks for the chang...; hey wait... that looks like Franklin D. Roosevelt!?!?! And there is Abraham Lincoln; someone shot him if I remember right! Hey that's weird, I have never noticed them before on coins???" She didn't know that because she was taught this is who's on the dime and penny. She recognized the pictures hanging up in the classrooms and from learning about them at school. I'm continually astounded by what she comes home having learned. The learning methods and styles are exactly what I expect from a school. If I did not know better, I would say this is a private school. Hands down best public school in the Sacramento Valley.

John Adams Academy is an amazing school. This charter is based on the Classical Education model, and though out the school is the spirit of The Nine Core Values, which seek to instill true character in our scholars. This school was set up to develop "Servant Leaders", students who will become citizens who give back to our world, who can think critically, who are well read, and understand their responsibility as Americans, in creating a better world for all. I could not love it more.
