The Right Choice For A Positive Future · DEO · M-DCPS
Committed to equitable, effective education for every student — every single day.
JJCS is a Miami-Dade County Public School under the Division of Educational Opportunities (DEO), part of the S.T.A.R. Network Corrective Action Support Network providing structured academic support for adjudicated youth.
Our motto "We Care" aligns the JJCS curriculum with the M-DCPS curriculum framework. We believe in sustaining a student's academic accountability as a foundation for a successful transition to career and further education.
Our staff provides equitable learning opportunities that equip students, build necessary foundations, and enable them to adapt to a rigorous curriculum. We empower at-risk youth to embrace accountability for their learning and develop healthier attitudes regarding their emotional, physical, and social well-being.
Students are held to the same M-DCPS academic standards, with personalized support to meet curriculum requirements.
Our motto drives every decision we make for our students and their futures beyond the detention experience.
Transition planning begins on day one to ensure a smooth re-entry to traditional schools upon release.
