TJ is not simply a specialized school for students who gain admission.
It is a school community with a strong sense of social responsibility that strives to inspire STEM education beyond its walls.
TJ provides many learning opportunities to the community through:
- special summer programs
- tutoring and mentoring activities
- seminars and conferences for students
- science and technology expos
- remote courses
- curriculum development for other schools
- professional development for other teachers
Current programs for other local school students and teachers include:
- Summer Technology Institute for rising 8th and 9th graders
- Tutoring and mentoring middle and elementary school students during 8th period
- Special seminars and experiments in research labs conducted by TJ students
- Celebrate Fairfax – a community technology expo
- Techstravaganza – TJ student-directed hands-on science days
- JOSTI – Jefferson Overseas Technology Institute – helping teachers build technology curriculum
As we begin to plan the renovation of our facility, my vision is that TJHSST
remain not only a paragon of excellence in math, science, and technology
but also a hub of STEM education in the community and beyond.
