COLLEGE COURSES, ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSE AND HONORS COURSES JAHS became a Front Range Community College Accredited Site in the fall of 2015.

Currently, there are 18 college courses offered with additional opportunities for students to take courses at the FRCC and CU Boulder campuses. JAHS also offers two classes from both Colorado Christian University and CU Denver, directly on our campus.
We also offer 5 Advanced placement courses on campus including AP European History, Physics, Calculus A/B, Computer Science and Studio Art.
We offer 9 Honors courses in core subject areas for 9th and 10th graders before they get to the college level courses.
