Student Outcomes

100% of TJ graduates are accepted into 4-year colleges and universities.

Making Extraordinary Futures Possible

Thomas Jefferson’s mission-driven, classical liberal arts education helps students build a strong academic foundation that prepares them to thrive at their preferred college or university. Our individualized college counseling process guides the way.

One hundred percent of our graduates are accepted into four-year colleges and universities, including some of the most highly-selective institutions in the world. They also receive substantial merit-based scholarship offers. The last five graduating classes, for example, each earned more than $4.25 million, on average, in merit-based scholarship offers. That is an average of more than $200,000 in merit-based scholarship offers per student.

The past five graduating classes have scored an average ACT composite score of 28.4.

After earning undergraduate degrees from a wide variety of colleges and universities, TJ graduates have earned masters, doctoral, and professional degrees in fine arts, medicine, law, engineering, business, education, biosciences, dentistry, public health, nursing, and political science, and many more fields, and have also become active and engaged members of their communities.
