Bexar County Juvenile Justice Alternative Education Program (JJAEP) is a specialized educational facility located in San Antonio, Texas, operating under the oversight of the Edgewood Independent School District (EISD). Unlike traditional public schools, the JJAEP is designed specifically for students who have been removed from their home campuses due to disciplinary infractions, criminal behavior, or mandatory expulsion requirements under the Texas Education Code. The primary mission of the program is to provide a structured, high-security environment that allows these students to continue their academic progress while addressing the behavioral challenges that led to their placement.

The curriculum at the Bexar County JJAEP focuses on core academic subjects—such as English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies—to ensure students remain on track to return to their home districts. Beyond standard coursework, the program integrates character education, behavioral management, and social skill development to help students successfully transition back into a traditional school setting. By maintaining a focus on both educational continuity and rehabilitative support, the JJAEP serves as a critical bridge for students navigating the juvenile justice and educational systems in Bexar County.
