We chose TJIDS because we were looking for certain criteria for our children when they were starting school. Safety, academics, tennis and a small environment where we could easily communicate with the faculty and staff. TJIDS has checked all of those boxes and more for the past 12 years. It has been a worthy investment.

Thomas Jefferson turned out to be an excellent choice for my academically gifted son. Not only was the curriculum challenging, but also the co-curricular activities were topnotch. Socially, he was very well accepted by his peers, even though he started in middle school. The teachers were extremely a...

While the teachers tried their best, the students were the problem. Our experience was that if your child hasn't been in the school since they were young, they won't be part of the clique that has been. The turnover in teachers was often, and was a problem when another teacher would be gone with no...
