Liberal Arts College Prep
Education builds the foundation for a community to grow and prosper.
“I am so grateful for the TJ faculty and curriculum. I know that my time at TJ has greatly impacted my life. The study skills and life lessons I learned at TJ gave me the tools I used to graduate college early, apply—and be accepted—to vet school, and thrive in the rigorous academic environment there. I am truly grateful that I was able to come to TJ on a scholarship and be mentored in such a brilliant setting.”
-- Gabby, TJ Class of 2012
TJ prepares students for success in college - and in life.
