Welcome to the home of the 
 Patriots!

It is our mission to develop Virtuous Citizen Leaders.


Thomas Jefferson Charter high school is an exceptional school. The faculty and students are great!  Everyone always has a greeting and smile to accompany it. The high school is very challenging. I have attended traditional public schools for 11 years. I felt like I was floating through each year, learning only the basic skills needed to satisfy the Idaho standards. I decided to move to the charter school to excel beyond my personal limits. 
     Upon arriving at TJCS, I was quickly involved with the other students and teachers. Within the first few weeks of school, I had been challenged to my limits. I was forced to think beyond the mediocre. Throughout the year, I have faced challenges never imagined. I felt like I was over my head at times. However, as soon as I felt down or incompetent, all the administration and my peers were concerned and ready to assist me in any way possible. Everyone around me had gotten to know me well enough to realize when I was at my worst without me saying a word. 
     My experiences at charters have been very challenging and rewarding. I am very pleased with my decision to move from a traditional public school to TJCS. Until Thomas Jefferson, I did not know how large of a difference a simple act of concern, such as a smile, makes to an education.

Thomas Jefferson Charter School has helped us a lot because of its wonderful ways of seeing things.  The teachers are always giving their students the attention that is necessary and do their best to make sure students are passing.  If there is trouble, they give students help. 
"I'm Edgar Godoy and I remember that I wasn't doing very well at first and my teachers and the principal met with me and my parents.  We discussed different things I could do in order to pass.  Now I am passing and doing a lot better.  This is all thanks to the teachers we have here and the principal we have. 
The school is "bully free" and "drug free" and a very safe place to be.  We like this school a lot as a family.
