At Abilene Junior Academy, we promote academic excellence through a challenging curriculum and caring teachers.
Preschool Curriculum & Program
Daily Rhythm - The days at AJA are designed to bring your child through an engaging curriculum, bible stories, songs, artistic experiences, life skills, and creative play.
We believe that preschool children learn best through hands-on activities and quality class materials. Our unique program keeps students engaged with creative activities, interactive stories, and a world-class curriculum. This makes our lessons fun, fresh, and diverse.
