About Our School
The Bennie Dover Jackson Multi-Magnet Middle School Campus showcases two distinct magnet pathways: STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and International Education. Students in grades 5-8 from all Connecticut cities and towns are eligible to attend.
The Mission:
To educate and graduate students who specialize in one of our themed magnet pathways, who are well-versed in the academic knowledge and practical experiences necessary to success in high school and beyond; who are critical thinkers and innovators; who are courageous and self-reliant; and who challenge the status quo while enriching their community, country, and global society.
Students will have several magnet-themed opportunities and experiences, including Oceanography, Lego Robotics, Coding, Artificial Intelligence, Project Lead the Way, and soon-to-be-added Design and Makerspace for STEM. For International Education, students will be able to participate in Latinos in Action, World Language, Debate, and more.
We recently completed a major construction project, which allows us to provide world-class facilities to our students and staff. The new and improved BDJ provides students with an enriching and incredible middle school experience.
