Jalen Rose Leadership Academy
As an educator with Jalen Rose Leadership Academy, you are considered a guardian to our students (whom we refer to as scholars). Therefore, as a Special Education Teacher, you must establish an exemplary classroom culture that balances high expectations with love and support. You will also build trust and community in your classroom via clear and timely communication with your scholars and families. At JRLA, we have created a model specifically designed to raise achievement for historically underserved scholars. We support your creativity and wholeheartedly encourage a rigorous, personalized, and well-rounded educational experience to meet the unique needs of each scholar in your classroom.
Established in 2011 by NBA Star Jalen Rose and Co-Founder Michael Carter, JRLA is located on the Northwest side of Detroit in the zip code where Jalen grew up. An open enrollment, tuition-free, public charter high school, JRLA provides a leadership-focused education to 420 scholars and nearly 1,000 alumni. The mission is to empower all scholars to develop the strength of character, skills, and knowledge needed to matriculate, be great in, and graduate from college or a post-secondary program so that they have the opportunities to be successful in the competitive world and take care of themselves and the people they love.
Built around a 9-16 model, JRLA has never wavered in its pursuit to improve the educational landscape for Detroit area youth. After 13 years of operations, JRLA remains steadfast in its commitment to not only get scholars to graduate from high school but for them to graduate from college or a post-secondary program as well – outcomes that are real game changers in urban education. With a 97% high school graduation rate, 100% college and post-secondary acceptance, and a leader among open enrollment high schools in Detroit for college matriculation (69% compared to a state average of 64%), JRLA knows the path to college and a successful future.
JRLA is authorized by Central Michigan University and managed by Phalen Leadership Academies (PLA), a transformative educational network working to create great schools and improve student outcomes.
