We believe Jordan Glen to be a very special place. This Web site will allow you a glimpse of what we are about but is no substitute for the experience itself. We have nurtured a lot of beautiful children over the years. We love seeing children grow and thrive, and our kids actually enjoy school and learning.



We hope you enjoy these pages - we look forward to meeting you.Jordan Glen School of Archer, Florida, is situated eight miles west of Gainesville (home of the University of Florida) on 20 acres of field, orchard, and woods that provide a safe and physically beautiful environment--in itself an exceptional learning resource.



The integration of the outdoor spaces into the total atmosphere of Jordan Glen sets us apart from other educational settings. Walk around our grounds once and it will be apparent why our school is such a special place.



The atmosphere at Jordan Glen is informal yet respectful. Teachers are known by their first names and strive to create a warm, friendly learning environment that is supportive and responsive to each child's individuality as well as to the group as a whole. The school day is structured to provide a strong academic program, and within the structure students are allowed choices. Each day begins with "Morning Meeting" where students and teachers convene to discuss the day's activities, share surprises, good news, problems, and sing songs. Group problem-solving and cooperation are both encouraged.
