Each year, JQES relies on fundraising to support academic, athletic and cultural enrichment for the over 740 students of JQES. We do this via banquet ticket sales, program ads, the support of our sponsors, and individual donations. Your generosity can help JQES fund:

TECHNOLOGY - computers, tablets, and software needed in our classrooms
ENRICHMENT - opportunities for real world experiences beyond our classrooms
SERVICES - supplemental educational and counseling support
MOVEMENT - programs that support physical activity to keep bodies and minds active

Our mission is to provide a challenging academic program that gives all students the means to succeed. Our school is a candidate for the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, and if accredited, we will be the first BPS elementary school with this distinction. We are consistently ranked among the top public schools in Massachusetts.
