Jamestown School Department

The Jamestown School Department, with the support of the Jamestown community, provides a learning environment that instills confidence, inspires enthusiasm for lifelong learning, and provides children with the skills and knowledge necessary to become engaged and productive citizens. Jamestown School Department operated 2 schools, Melrose School, in the same location as this department, for students in grades PreK-4, and Lawn School, located at 55 Lawn Avenue, for students in grades 5-8. Jamestown School Department provides a rigorous, standards based curriculum with a balanced literacy program, real-world mathematics, hands-on science and civics education preparing students for 21st century learning. Jamestown schools have adopted computer science, coding and science, technology, engineering, arts & mathematics (S.T.E.A.M) based opportunities as key components of the curriculum. Currently both schools in the district have a fully furnished Makerspace Lab with 3-d printers, green screens and Edison robots.
