They talk a lot about how the kids "love to go to school" at Jubilee. But it's really true. My son never liked school at all, that is until we discovered Jubilee one summer. The very next September we enrolled him at Jubilee and now he is a different child. Now he gets up every morning without an argument because he loves to go to school. God bless the staff at Jubilee, you changed our family's life. It's not a struggle when it comes to school work because my son enjoys it. Thank you.
My boys learned to be kind at Jubilee. This sounds mundane, but coming from public school, being tough was a badge of honor. The children at Jubilee are also taught to believe in themselves; this was also a new concept. As the other comments have mentioned, the warmth and love of the staff is something that one prays for, and we found it. The teachers spend time enriching the children after school for free. Great leadership. Great school.
My daughter has really discovered how great school can be. She loves to read. Her teacher is very interested in each student. The principal has gathered together a professional staff that teaches with joy and excitement. This school is worth every dollar and then some.
Jubilee is the reason that my children love school. The principal and staff make learning fun. The activities are all related to academics, so the children are able to experience learning that is rich, vibrant, meaningful and yes... fun! It is a wonderful sight to watch the children as they come to school; everyone is smiling and eager to start the day... even the staff. Thank you Mrs. Selleck and the entire staff of Jubilee for providing such an outstanding program of academic excellence for our children. The Christian atmosphere is second to none. Anyone who lives near to this school should check it out.
I am so glad that I found Jubilee! I have two children at the school: one in pre-school and one is 3rd grade. I originally had my 3rd grader at another local, private school but pulled her out due to bullying. I am happy to say that at Jubilee, she has never been bullied by the other children. She even looks forward to going to school! Due to the great teachers at Jubilee, she is now reading above grade level. My little one is preschool is learning tons, making friends, getting prepared for kindergarden, and learning about Jesus. What more could you want? The entire family has grown closer to Christ since we joined the Jubilee family. The principal, Mrs. Jill Selek, is a phenomenal role model for all the parents. She is an excellent administrator and manages the school professionally, efficiently and with great care.
We were unhappy with the school. There seemed to be several last minute changes and events seemed unorganized. It seemed like the focus was on having fun and not on academics and definitely not on Christian truths and real prayer. I didn't experience much Christian leadership from the principal or the teacher as far as teaching them how to pray out loud by modeling it themselves. The teachers actually seemed to be shy about it. They would have the kids make it up and no one ever grew in their prayer life. It just wasn't what we were looking for in a Christian School--we wanted strong academics and a prayerful Christian atmosphere patterned after biblical truths. Instead, we experienced what felt more like a public school. Look carefully before you commit. The principal sells it when she first meets with you, but be aware--it's a little too good to be true.
What can I say about Jubilee other than it's a great school. My son was in public school and was more than a grade behind. We enrolled him in Jubilee and in 10 months time he is at grade level in almost every subject. Not to mention he enjoys going to school and has great self confidence. Well worth the money I can tell you that! Mrs. Seleck and the rest of the staff take a very personal approach to every student. It's just a great school. Ernestine Duran
My daughter has been at Jubilee for 2 years now. Ms Cissy,Ms Denise & Ms Lisa are fantastic teachers. I just think that a little more focus should be on academics.
I was very disappointed with the Principal and her lack of professionalism. Yes, Jubilee has many fun events throughout the month but they didn't make up for the waning efforts of the Principal to really bring the school up to par. Save your money and go to an other well run private school.
I must say that I love Jubilee. As soon as my son turned 2 we had him placed at Jubilee. His 1st year was w/ Miss Cissy and he learned so much. This year he is in Miss Shawna's class and he loves his teacher and his friends. He has developed such a warm loving attitude. Thank you Jubilee for nourshing my son and teaching him all the wonderful things you have tought him.
