What an exciting time to be at Jemicy! This year marks 50 years of opening the doors to a love of learning for thousands of students who learn differently. This year we will impact the lives of 470 talented and bright children with dyslexia and other related language-based learning differences–our largest enrollment to date. As always, our students are thrilled about coming to school!
In true Jemicy style, we will commemorate this milestone in a multitude of ways, starting with fun-filled opening days, special guests and programming throughout the year, and the spectacular Jemicy Jubilee on April 15, 2023. We hope all of our families, alumni, and friends join us in our year-long celebration. Read more >
