About The Jones-Gordon School (JGS)

JGS is an independent private school serving the greater Phoenix area. We cultivate the strengths of high-potential students in grades 1-12 who have dyslexia and co-occurring learning differences. Ours is a strengths-based approach, resulting in a targeted, progressive education that empowers students and enables them to thrive!

In 2010, JGS was founded in order to fill the need for an educational environment designed and dedicated to high-achieving students who have language-based learning differences.

We’ve built our reputation by employing outstanding educators and using state-of-the-art, research-validated curriculum. JGS parents have high standards and expect proven outcomes for their children, and we deliver.

In 2020, JGS started a new chapter. As we embarked on our journey of transforming into a nonprofit, we carefully considered the long-term financial stability & accessibility of our educational mission. With our nonprofit status, we can continue to fulfill our commitment to providing an unparalleled education to as many students as possible — while ensuring our long-term sustainability and growth.
