The Jefferson County JCPSeSchool (JCPSeSchool) is a US online school founded in 2000. It is based in the US state of Kentucky. It serves "grades 3-14" -i.e. from third grade through the community college level.

In 2008-09, JCPSeSchool had more than 6,000 students (in 24,000 active enrollments, in over 75 school districts, in 12 US states).

Developed from an alternative programme for at-risk students, it now serves Jefferson County current/ former students interested in obtaining a high school diploma. Students may enrol individually, or local schools may purchase eight student slots at a time; individuals must be over age 14 (or 16 for full-time). JCPSeSchool is not governed/overseen by any state online programme.
