The Board of Directors of Teton Science Schools has announced that “Mountain Academy of Teton Science Schools” has been selected as the new name for the Pre-K through 12 independent school. The new name will replace the legacy names from the two-campus school – Journeys School, in Jackson, and Teton Valley Community School, in Teton Valley. After a partnership of many years and an integration of the Teton Valley Community School in 2012, the two campuses came together formally as one school in 2019. The selection of a new name for the school was part of a 7-month analysis of the Teton Science Schools’ brand overall. In making the selection, the Science School’s leadership sought ideas and feedback through a series of local and national surveys, community engagement sessions, teacher, parent and student feedback meetings and advisement from a small group of parents, teachers, staff and Board members. With the change, both campuses will continue to use their communities as a classroom to prepare students for college and beyond.
