Testimonials

“In many ways, JSLH has been an awakening for me that saved me too. I made the decision to pursue Liberal Arts at the last moment. And now I believe that it was the best decision I ever made. JSLH liberated me. The faculty and peers here inspired me to think for myself, experiment and become comfortable in my own skin. From being a schoolgirl who was on the verge of following the herd, JSLH helped me realize a lot about myself, my passions and ambitions. Today, as I sit in another prestigious institution in the country, I attribute my success in my journey here to my time in JSLH.”
