It’s a middle school with a mission — one that’s changing lives by shaping not just students, but future leaders. At George Jackson Academy in Manhattan, boys are empowered to learn, lead, and build lifelong bonds of brotherhood.

​

Founded in the LaSallian tradition of educating the head, heart, and spirit, the school is dedicated to helping boys from all backgrounds reach their full potential. Head of School Ramon Javier and his team know every student by name, fostering a supportive environment built on compassion, connection, and confidence.

​

At George Jackson Academy, academics go hand-in-hand with character development. With small class sizes, personalized attention, and teachers who truly know their students, boys are encouraged to think critically, express themselves, and discover their strengths — both in and out of the classroom.

​

Beyond traditional subjects, students explore art, robotics, finance, and even fencing, learning lessons that extend far beyond academics. The school’s unique programs and partnerships — including collaborations with museums and professional artists — open doors to new experiences and opportunities.

​

That sense of belonging and brotherhood continues long after graduation. The school’s 400+ alumni have gone on to some of the nation’s top high schools and colleges, carrying with them the values of leadership, integrity, and empathy learned at George Jackson Academy.

For many families, the transformation is profound — and the impact lifelong.
