Mn Academy For The Blind

Jefferson Elementary is terrific! My 8 year old daughter transferred here this past year for second grade and has had the best year so far! She has learned and loved the PAWS pledge they say each day which encourage respect, safety, hard work and responsibility. The community of Jefferson staff and students has been terrific and we love it there. There are several opportunities before and after school and also a great curriculum during the day which includes the normal reading, writing and math, but also social studies, science, music, orchestra, phy ed, media and several educational field trips.

I think this is a great school. The teachers appear to care about their students. I have high regards for these teachers. It is tough now because of strict rules, etc. The principal is great he also seems to care about his students, teachers and school.

We have enrolled three children into DMCS. We moved to Faribault specifically to be near the school. Students are safe, well cared for and are receiving a wonderful education. The teachers care about each students progress academically as well as personal growth.

This school works with each childs individual needs and encourages them to push themselves to the next level, helping deaf kids to develop independence and self esteem.
