ST. JOHNS COUNTY JAIL (DJJ)

The school associated with the St. Johns County Jail is an educational facility operated under the jurisdiction of the St. Johns County School District, specifically designed to serve the youth population held within the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) system. Located at 4500 Avenue D in St. Augustine, Florida, this school is part of the district's commitment to providing continuous educational opportunities for students regardless of their placement or legal status. Its primary objective is to maintain academic momentum for students, ensuring they remain on track with their state-mandated curriculum while they navigate the juvenile justice process.

The program functions as an alternative educational setting that focuses on core subjects, credit recovery, and individualized instruction tailored to the unique environment of a detention facility. By operating under the umbrella of the St. Johns County School District, the school works to bridge the gap between institutionalized life and the traditional classroom. This ensures that students have access to qualified educators and educational resources, with the ultimate goal of facilitating a smoother transition back into a standard school environment or vocational path upon their release.
