Dear Jones Paideia Friends,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the welcoming, friendly learning community known as Jones Paideia Magnet School. We serve students in kindergarten through fourth grades. Jones is filled with competent, caring teachers, students and parents all working together towards the common goal of making Jones the best elementary school in Nashville. We believe in the cohesiveness of school, community and home all working together to create the best learning for ALL of our students.

Our teachers strive to actively engage students in their own learning process by using a repertoire of instructional strategies geared to the needs of the children we serve. In addition, teachers use seminars and Socratic questioning to develop students’ thinking skills and to foster an appreciation of different ideas and values. Students have the opportunity to share their learning through a series of coached projects that engage them in problem solving and the application of various learned skills. All of these strategies follow and embed the PAIDEIA philosophy throughout all areas of student's learning.

Jones Paideia Magnet School is a wonderful place for children, parents and teachers! We truly believe we are the BEST elementary school in town and invite you to see it for yourself. Please plan to visit Jones Paideia and participate in our wonderful learning community. We are proud of our school and want you to share in our enthusiasm for learning!

                                                                                                                Sincerely,
                                                                                                                Pamela J. Greer
