At James Island Christian School, we are committed to shaping the hearts and minds of the next generation through a distinctly Christian worldview. By integrating biblically grounded academic excellence with a heart for service, we’re equipping students to lead with conviction and impact their future homes, churches, and communities for Christ.
3 KEY ATTRIBUTES OF A JICS GRADUATE:
1.Follow Christ: Rooted in biblical truth— able to defend what they believe and why.
2.Learn Intentionally: To think critically and solve problems creatively
3.Serve & Lead: Impact their future homes, churches, and communities for Christ
Building Up for the Next Generation
Since 2019, James Island Christian School has experienced remarkable growth—both in size and spirit. By the end of the 2025–26 school year, enrollment across K4 through 8th grade will have doubled, with a 17% increase over the previous year alone.
The Building Up Campus Expansion is the next step in our journey—providing a two-story, 14,000square-foot addition to the front of our existing gym that will significantly increase our capacity to provide an academically excellent, Christ-centered education that prepares students to impact their future homes, churches and communities for Christ.
