Activities & Clubs

JSA is the only CRCSD elementary school to offer private music lessons. Students can study piano, violin, and guitar. Limited scholarship funds are available through the Dr. Susan Lagos Scholarship Fund for students who qualify.

JSA partners with organizations, such as CSPS, Wellington Heights Master Gardeners and Neighborhood Association, Eastern Iowa Arts Academy, First Congregational and St. Paul’s churches, and Paul Engle Association for Community Arts to bring traveling artists to Johnson. Artists have included Eulenspiegel Puppeteers, the African Drummers, Ranky Tanky band, Red Cedar Chamber Music Ensemble, Orchestra Iowa Ensembles in the Schools, and Schoolhouse Jazz.

Johnson STEAM Academy students in first through fifth grade, have the opportunity to explore and expand special interests and skills through our before and after-school STEAM enrichment program. There is no cost for JSA students to participate in these exciting weekly classes at JSA. This unique program offers a variety of semester-long STEAM-related opportunities, such as Explore Engineering, Green Team, gospel choir, story art, primary potters, student ambassadors, garden club, and more!
