Small Learning Communities
Jackson's Information Technology SLC was created out of the Information Technology magnet program that predated the SLC approach. Students in the IT SLC follow two Pathways. Pathway I, Computing, focuses on software development and includes a dual enrollment option. Pathway II, Interactive Media, focuses on web design.
Jackson's Engineering and Early College (E2C) SLC formed as part of the University System of Georgia's Early College initiative. E2C partners with Atlanta Metropolitan College, with Atlanta Metro courses being taught on campus at Jackson High in the 2012-13 school year. Classes offered by E2C include circuitry, electronics, foundations of electronics, and early college courses in math, English and social studies.
Jackson's Fine Arts and Media Communications SLC (FAMC) features a dance program partnered with the Atlanta Ballet. FAMC students can also study video broadcasting production and studio art.

Famous quotes containing the words small, learning and/or communities:
“The small perplexities of small minds eddy and boil about you. Confident from the experience that has led you out of these same dangers, you attack each problem as it appears, unafraid.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
“There are no other questions than these,
Half squashed in mud, emerging out of the moment
We all live, learning to like it. No sonnet
On this furthest strip of land....”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“... feminist solidarity rooted in a commitment to progressive politics must include a space for rigorous critique, for dissent, or we are doomed to reproduce in progressive communities the very forms of domination we seek to oppose.”
