Jackson Middle School in Portland, OR is proud to be a Leonard Bernstein School of Artful Learning since 1998. We believe and can demonstrate the arts are a pathway for complete student engagement, educator empowerment and a compelling model to transform learning. Jackson is home to the longest running Bernstein program in the U.S. and the only school in the Pacific Northwest to use this interdisciplinary program.
