Testimonials
JET education center has been such a blessing to our family. They met my son where he was emotionally and socially and provided the safe, nurturing environment he needed to grow so that he could show his full potential. The staff is kind, flexible, and patient. They provide an educational setting that is student driven, based on interest and need, which is why my 14 year old son says he can't wait to get back to school this coming August. I don't know what we would do if we didn't have this program as an option for our son's education. We are forever grateful for the staff at JET!

JET Education Center opened their doors in August of 2020 in downtown Batavia, Ohio. Founders Meghan and Amy saw a need for other educational options, and with the inspiration from the late Cynthia Day, chose to establish JET Education Center.
We are parents too and we understand the daily struggles of homeschooling. Let's face it, sometimes your child needs to hear the same information you have been trying to teach them from someone else. We know that when we traditionally homeschooled our kids, there was sometimes conflict about kids not wanting to do the work assigned. We often felt guilty too worrying about socialization and making sure we covered everything we needed.
