Are you thinking about sending your child to the Jenks Academy for the Arts and Sciences and wish to learn more? Join us for an evening around the fire with Principal Corinne Scioli and a few members of the Friends of Jenks (FOJ) and the Jenks Home and School Association (HSA).

This event is meant for prospective families and guardians who are considering Jenks for their child. Light refreshments will be served.

The Backyard Bonfire will be held outdoors at the home of a Jenks family in Chestnut Hill. The address (which is located within walking distance to Jenks) will be provided to those who register closer to the date.

Please note that this event is intended for adults only.

Infants under twelve months old are welcome.

The students and staff at the Jenks Academy for the Arts and Sciences are making headlines in The Chestnut Hill Local!

Established in 1958, the Chestnut Hill Local emerged as a community forum and since has become an award-winning, independent weekly newspaper serving the neighborhoods of Chestnut Hill, Mt. Airy, Wyndmoor, Flourtown, Erdenheim and the surrounding communities in Northwest Philadelphia and Eastern Montgomery County. Each week, the Local is read by nearly 10,000 adults in its print form and thousands more online. About 60,000 people visit chestnuthilllocal.com each month. The Local is currently distributed by mail and is available at newsstands and honor boxes throughout the region.
