Location

Welcome to J. Graham Brown School, located in the heart of downtown Louisville - the perfect location for an educational experience like no other!

Being situated in the heart of Louisville provides numerous advantages for our students. The bustling downtown area offers easy access to a diverse range of cultural and educational opportunities. Our students can visit world-class museums, galleries, sporting events, and performance venues, all just a short walk away from the school.

The downtown location also provides numerous internship and job opportunities, allowing our students to gain hands-on experience in a variety of fields. With many of Louisville's top employers located in the downtown area, our students are perfectly placed to explore and pursue their career aspirations.

In addition, our downtown location makes it easy for our students to connect with the community and engage in service projects that make a difference in people's lives. From volunteering at local shelters to participating in food drives and community events, our students are constantly making a positive impact in their community.

We are at the perfect location for students to enroll in face-to-face dual-credit opportunities at local universities. We are within walking distance of three college campuses (JCTC, Spalding University, Simmons College) and just a short TARC ride/drive to the University of Louisville.

So why wait? Come join us at J. Graham Brown School and experience the benefits of our wonderful downtown location. With endless opportunities and experiences waiting for you just outside our doors, there's no better place to learn, grow, and thrive!
