The Juvenile Services Education Program (JSEP) is an independent education program housed in Maryland’s Department of Juvenile Services (DJS). JSEP provides comprehensive educational services to all students in DJS detention and/or residential facilities. At JSEP we create individualized education plans for each student. One that builds on students’ strengths and prepares them for continued success and positive engagement in their communities. Class sizes are small and often co-taught, offering teachers a unique opportunity to work with and meet the needs of their students. Students attend school six hours daily, year-round. Coursework is aligned with the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) standards and each student is enrolled in classes which meet their graduation requirements.
