The application only seeks basic contact information to facilitate the lottery and confirm that the scholar lives in a county where the JAA Online Program is available.

John Adams Academy desires to serve all scholars subject to legal requirements and capacity. Please note that the California Education Code does not allow scholars with exceptional needs/disabilities to participate in independent study unless their IEP specifically provides for participation in an independent study. We encourage all families, including families with scholars with exceptional needs, to consider and apply to the JAA Online Program if they believe this Program will benefit their scholars.
