The Juvenile Justice Center School (JJCS) is committed to providing an equitable and effective learning environment for all students every day. Under the Division of Educational Opportunities (DEO) of Miami-Dade County Public Schools, we believe that “We Care” is not just our motto — it is our practice, our culture, and our commitment to every student who walks through our doors.
JJCS believes in sustaining a student’s academic accountability as a foundation for a successful transition to career and further education. Our staff provides equitable learning opportunities that equip students with the skills and foundations they need to adapt to a rigorous curriculum and thrive beyond the detention experience.
Building foundations for life-long learning, positive personal growth, and self-discipline beyond the detention experience.
