About Us
John Hancock Charter School (JHCS) is a tuition-free public charter school serving grades K–8 in Pleasant Grove and Eagle Mountain. Since opening in 2002, we’ve focused on inspiring a love of learning while achieving excellent results—most recently, 82.6% of our 3rd graders were reading on grade level, compared to the state average of 48%. Our students enjoy a rich and balanced education through Core Knowledge, Core Knowledge Language Arts, EnVision Math, hands-on STEM, visual art, and music. Beginning in 3rd grade, every student learns a string instrument, making music a central part of our school experience. We also emphasize patriotism, character education, and strong values that prepare children for lifelong success.
