J Term is offered in the month of January as a break between 1st semester and 2nd semester to encourage students to focus on concentrated and creative studies. 

J Term gives students an opportunity to learn a new skill, study a topic in-depth, check out a career, or take an exciting trip! We believe that the lessons and opportunities students experience through this program will be a tremendous value and blessing to the academic, social, spiritual, and vocational direction of each student involved.

During J Term, our students have opportunities to interact with and learn from others outside of the traditional classroom setting. Through service opportunities, guest speakers and teachers, internships, and trips, our students learn and "shine their lights" for Christ.

J Term Internships

Internships are not just a job shadow. The J Term internship program was created to help students learn about future educational and career options, realize their gifts and abilities, and provide an opportunity to serve our community. 

Automotive Manufacturing

Alex found the process of going from raw materials to a working car the the Subaru factory really interesting.
