JEI’s History
JEI Learning Center believes in the unlimited potential of children and their ability to become creative leaders of tomorrow. JEI's scientifically-proven Self-Learning Method will help develop confidence in students with individually paced, step-by-step learning in Math and Language Arts programs. Once children begin to enjoy learning independently, their potential grows exponentially.
"A Better Life Through Better Education" is the philosophy behind JEI's internationally acclaimed method. JEI offers an effective supplementary education for children through the quality of our centers’ innovative approach to education. Gifted and talented students, students performing at grade level, and students who may require additional attention, all enjoy an enriching and immersive academic experience with proven results. With a recommended ratio of 5 to 1, children are given the opportunity to work closely with an instructor. JEI skilled directors inspire their students to develop critical thinking abilities while encouraging them to explore their boundless creative minds and unlock a passion for education from an early age.
Currently, there are nearly 100 centers in the US with new JEI centers opening every month. JEI has been guiding students for over 35 years and is present around the globe with over 500 locations worldwide.
