Jowonio School is a primary and secondary educational institution located in Syracuse, New York. Founded in 1969, it began as an alternative school that emphasized an open, individualized approach not always available in public settings.

From its start, the school accepted a broad range of children, and since 1975 it has operated as a planful inclusive program in which typical children and children with special needs learn in the same classrooms, supported by the New York State Office of People with Developmental Disabilities.
