JOURNEYS SCHOOL

Journeys School is a public secondary school that is part of the Region III Spec Ed Coop school district, located in Jerseyville, IL with about 9 students. With about 4 teachers, Journeys School has a student/teacher ratio of about 2:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Journeys School, located at 28968 Delhi Rd in Jerseyville, Illinois, is a specialized educational facility operated under the oversight of the Regional Office of Education (ROE) #40. The school is designed to serve students who require a more structured, therapeutic, or individualized learning environment than what is typically provided in a traditional comprehensive high school setting. By focusing on smaller class sizes and personalized instruction, the program aims to help students overcome academic or behavioral challenges, stay on track for graduation, and develop the necessary skills for post-secondary success.

The curriculum and support services at Journeys School emphasize both academic progress and social-emotional development. By working closely with school districts throughout the region, the staff provides intensive support, including behavioral interventions and counseling, to create a safe and stable atmosphere for students who may have struggled in other settings. The school’s ultimate mission is to foster personal growth, improve student engagement, and ensure that each attendee has the opportunity to achieve their educational potential in a supportive, resource-rich environment.
