Why Choose Jepson

  • In addition to providing quality education and innovative programs, New Haven Schools of Choice are designed to foster racial, ethnic and economic diversity among students. There is an application process and lottery system for placement in these schools. 

    All students applying to a Magnet, Charter or Kindergarten at a Neighborhood School must submit an Application by Friday, March 10, 2023 to enter the Lottery. Do not submit your application to the school or school personnel. If any information on the application is not the same information on file in the Office, the Application will be returned to you.

How is Jepson Unique?

  • Benjamin Jepson is a multi-age school. Students learn and work together in mixed-age groupings. Students have the opportunity to remain with teachers for two consecutive years, allowing the teacher additional time to know and understand each child in their academic and social environment.
