Esports at JMA
JMA's Esports teams were founded with the approval of the Jefferson Montessori Academy Council of Trustees. They began holding practices and meetings in January of 2020 as part of Friday's block schedule clubs. We joined HSEL (High School Esports League), the Nations oldest and largest esports league.
