Notifications have been sent! Paperwork due back by April 15th! June 6-27, 2020 - July 5-26, 2020 Message about COVID-19 At the present moment, we have no plans in place to cancel any of our summer academies. However, if COVID-19 forces Truman to cancel summer residential programs prior to their start dates, all enrolled students will receive a refund for payments they have made toward the cost of the program. We encourage families to continue to reserve their spots in anticipation that the programs will proceed as scheduled.
A three-week residential program located on the campus of Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri with an academically challenging curriculum for grades 7-9. JBA offers a selection of liberal arts and sciences courses taught by Truman Faculty that simulate the experience of a first-year college student. JBA was created in 1985 in order to provide the benefits of a liberal arts education to students beyond its own undergraduates. JBA is proud to provide an academic challenge to younger students that is truly one of the finest of such opportunities in the nation and significantly more affordable than many comparable programs around the country.
Enrollment is for students completing the seventh, eighth, or ninth grade who meet the qualifications for Distinguished Nominee status.
Classes included courses in the Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, Fine Arts, Humanities, and Math/Computer Sciences and several interdisciplinary courses.
Students will enjoy a rich experience outside the classroom. They live on campus and participate in a variety of activities each day.
