The Course Choice program, established by the LEARNS Act, expands access to high-quality courses for Arkansas students in grades 6-12. This program allows scholars at Jacksonville Middle School and Jacksonville High School to enroll in courses not currently offered at their school.
To help families better understand the process, Communications Director Mrs. Cheesa Williams has created a brief 2-minute video overview.
