Visitor Information
There is a spirit to JA that can only be experienced in person.
Turn just off of Ridgewood Road and listen to the roar of the crowd under Friday night lights or hear the laughter that spills from the Preschool playground as you arrive at the Administration Building for a tour. Take in a show in our 800-seat performance hall or find a quiet place to read in the multi-functional Learning Commons.
We want you to feel welcome and experience the JA community we know and love.
