Kindergarten Class under discussion for 2007-08

Jefferson Park Baptist Church has sponsored a successful Preschool Ministry since 1982. At present over 40 children are enrolled in our preschool.

Over the years we have had interest expressed in an expanded school ministry both from preschool and church families. Many have observed that Charlottesville has a need for an academically challenging and affordable alternative to the current public and private school options.

In January 2006 the church approved the establishment of the Jefferson Park School ministry. However, we did not reach sufficient enrollment, so we will not be offering a kindergarten class in the 2006-07 academic year. We continue to investigate starting a class in 2007-08.
