JBY ACADEMY HYBRID HOMESCHOOL COMMUNITY!

JBY Academy is a faith-based program  rooted in spiritual principles of hope, love, community, kindness, fellowship, and unity. We welcome all families, so long as they agree to be in alignment with the 5 Core Values of Just Be You Performing Arts. (scroll down to read our values)

The program is open to all families who share a common interest in enhancing a child's exposure and knowledge of creative arts and culture. In addition to strengthening their academics.

Our program coming in the fall of 2021 is underway. The plan is to offer a variety of virtual classes; as well as, bi-weekly in-person meetups in Easton, PA. Once the space is secured all interested parents will be notified directly.

JBY Academy does not have a rigid or demanding volunteering requirement. However, parents will have many opportunities to volunteer and teach a class if interested.  We will function as a community with a mindset of unity, harmony, and fellowship.

Whenever we meetup in person, parents have the option to drop-off or stay and participate. Full social distancing and covid-19 safety precautions will be in place for any in-person meetup. Masks will be required. No exceptions. Children will be spaced 6-feet apart when working at tables. Parents will be required to bring their children's own art supplies and writing supplies to limit the sharing of items. We may also conduct temperature checks. The safety of the students and families are a TOP PRIORITY and all registered participants will be expected to respect and abide by our protocols. No exceptions.

Parents with any questions we'd love to talk with you. We are scheduling phone conferences with interested parents. Please email us to schedule yours!  jbyacademykids@gmail.com

JBY Academy was founded in 2016 as a creative arts and academic enrichment program; designed with kids & teens in mind. For both homeschool children and traditional school. The program was born in Central, New Jersey. In 2017 we extended our program to the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania (Easton, Bethlehem, Allentown).  

During 2017 through 2019 we hosted marvelous workshops in-person at local libraries. Children learned, created and socialized. Due to the pandemic of 2020, we were unable to continue our meetups, but it didn't stop our commitment to serving the youth. As such, we began hosting wonderful virtual workshops via ZOOM video conferencing. This was a caring decision made to keep children engaged, enriched and connected; during the uncertain times of social distancing, due to the covid-19 health crisis.

Due to the huge success and high demand of our workshops, we are now encouraged to answer the call to fill a void in Lehigh Valley, PA; for homeschool families seeking quality and affordable educational and enrichment classes for their children.

JBY Academy was created by Mahogany Reynolds-Clarke, out of love and devotion to her sonshine, DJ, an aspiring filmmaker, musician and zoologist.

JBY Academy is dedicated to providing high quality, interactive, and enriching classes in education and creative arts. We are also committed to establishing a positive homeschool community of like-minded families in the Lehigh Valley area of Pennsylvania. As well as, families outside of the area who wish to participate in our program virtually.
