John Adams Academy in El Dorado Hills recently broke ground on a new expansion project that will eventually add seven athletic fields and a playspace for students and families.
It was a momentous occasion marked by a poignant reflection from Headmaster Dr. Andrew Carico and an inspiring address from El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce CEO/President Debbie Manning. JAA staff also shared the moment with local dignitaries, academy board members, community partners and scholars and families.
The turf soccer field is scheduled to be ready for use this coming fall and is the first phase in the development of future sports and recreational amenities at the El Dorado Hills campus on Investment Boulevard.
The academy opened in fall 2017 in El Dorado Hills, starting in a temporary facility before moving to the current campus, where it is now expanding to add more students, programs and amenities.
John Adams Academy was founded in 2010 and is fully accredited by the School Commission of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. It is a classical education, tuition-free, TK-12 public charter school. There are also JAA campuses in Roseville and Lincoln.
Non-secular and non-political, the school operates with 10 core principles in mind to “prepare future leaders and statesmen through principle-based education,” it states on the school website. These core values include: appreciation of our national heritage, public and private virtue, emphasis on mentors and classics, scholar empowered learning, fostering creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, high standards of academic excellence, modeling what we teach, abundance mentality, building a culture of greatness, self-governance, personal responsibility and accountability.
