Jonathan Jones has been named Headmaster at Discovery Academy. Located in Provo, Utah, Discovery Academy is a therapeutic boarding school serving students ages 13-17.

Jonathan has over 20 years experience as a teacher and administrator in public and private high schools in Colorado, Virginia, California and Utah.

As Headmaster, Jonathan will oversee academics at Discovery Academy, Oxbow Academy, Discovery Ranch, and RedCliff.

"Students with special needs need a special approach," Jones says. He says he was drawn to the Discovery program because of the personalized academic approach for each student. "It's an ideal as opposed to the mass production that tends to be in most schools."

As Headmaster, Jones says his primary role is to insure the integrity and viability of Discovery's academic programs. "We have to make sure we're united as far as goals, curriculum and methodology."
