Our Students' Success Stories

Students' experiences at Janus

Irreplaceable skills, lessons

"Janus couldn't have prepared me better for my transition back to a public high school and college. Janus gave me the skills to better understand myself, to read and solve math problems at a higher level, and to advocate for myself. Without the skills I learned at Janus, I wouldn't be achieving success today. I use the skills I learned at Janus to study at college every single day."

A recipe for success

"The Janus School was a great environment for learning because the teachers never stopped teaching until you understood and they really wanted you to do well. Going to Janus for one year taught me more than five years in regular school. Attending Janus was a relief for me, and it gave me confidence because I had opportunities to do things that I would not have had at an ordinary school."

Passing on learned lessons

"The Janus School has given me the platform of a great education that I have used during my career in education. One of the main reasons why I have chosen a career in elementary education is because of the teachers at The Janus School who showed me that I was able to learn. In my educational career I have never met teachers and staff that are as dedicated as they are."

Jumping the hurdles

"Having been a student at the Janus School, I realize that any limitations on future success would be self-imposed. I am capable of great things if I am willing to work hard for them."

The road to independence

"At The Janus School, I learned to be more independent. I learned that there isn't always going to be someone there to keep you organized, you have to do it on your own. Organization is one of the biggest key factors in our lives."

A hundred thanks

"The Janus School helped me deal with the frustrations that came along with dyslexia. There is no cure for having a learning disability but The Janus School helped me use the strengths I had to build an easier learning environment. These skills I learned helped me through high school, the military, and college. Thank you a hundred times."

The rewards of dedication

"In 1997 I became the first graduate of The Janus School. I went on to attend HACC and Elizabethtown College and worked as a teller at Fulton Bank. Today I am the Lead Cash Management Specialist in Patient Financial Services at Lancaster General Hospital. My success in the business and financial world is a tangible outcome of the attention and education I received as a student at Janus."

The gift of confidence

"I wish that every child could experience the same educational experience as I did. Janus is a unique school where the teachers work with you as an individual and open their hearts to their students. The staff at The Janus School always brings 110 percent to their day. They know that what they are doing counts and changes the lives of students … The Janus School not only gives each student the gift of knowledge, but gives the greatest gifts to its students: Self-respect, self-esteem, and the confidence to compete with everyone else in this fast-paced world."
