George Jackson Academy

The last week of the 25-26 School Year! As we count down the last few days of school, part of our celebration of all the hard work the boys have put into their various studies and activities is the end of year Science Expo. 6th, 7th, and 8th graders all presented their various science projects, framed through the Scientific Method, to faculty, staff, and their brothers. A big Thank You to Ms. Lynch, Mr. McLellan, and Mr. Shvartsman and everyone else involved in making this happen.

This past Wednesday, the GJA Class of 2027 spent the morning at Morgan Stanley for our Mock Interview Day. We were greeted by Managing Director and GJA Board Member, John Lechner, heard from a guest speaker, and the boys played a stock market game. We ended the day with two rounds of mock interviews to help prepare our 7th graders for fall high school interviews.

As they begin to embark on the high school admissions process, the boys were able to imagine themselves in a brand new setting. They heard from engaging guest speakers with stories similar to their own. They put their math skills to use. They received useful feedback from discerning adults. And they had fun. It was a good day.

Thank you to everyone involved from both GJA and Morgan Stanley for making this amazing day happen!
