Introducing The Heart of Journey Scholarship

Journey School is proud to introduce The Heart of Journey Scholarship — our highest character-based honor, established in memory of Antonio González.

This full scholarship is awarded annually to one student whose compassion, integrity, courage, humility, empathy, inclusion, and deep respect for others reflect the deepest values of our community. It exists to honor the belief that the true strength of a community is measured not only through achievement, but through humanity.

Leadership Team & Teaching Staff

This year has been one of incredible growth and accomplishment for Journey School, and none of it would be possible without the dedication of our team. From our leadership team to our teaching staff, from the facilities and grounds teams to our security staff, every individual plays a vital role in the success of our school.

At our annual leadership meeting, we take time to review team performance, reflect on the year, and make decisions about the upcoming school year. For the first time in Journey's history, no team member is being considered for non-renewal. Every individual has been recognized as an essential part of our community, and we are so grateful for the collective strength and commitment they bring.

Student Achievements

Our students continue to shine with remarkable achievements. For the third year in a row, they participated in the Model UN, showcasing their critical thinking and diplomacy skills. They also excelled in the National Math Olympics, our first spelling bee, and our first internal Math Olympics.

Most notably, 100% of our students passed the MEP exams this year. This is a monumental achievement for any school, but especially for ours, where many students are not native Spanish speakers. It is even more impressive because these exams are taught in highly academic Spanish, requiring a deep level of fluency and comprehension. This success reflects the unwavering dedication of our team and the resilience and determination of our students.

Environmental Initiatives

Our students remain actively involved in sustainability efforts through our botany program and greenhouse projects. They also take pride in caring for our school animals, fostering responsibility and a deep connection to the natural world.
