EXPERIENCE

the James Island Christian Community

James Island Christian’s mission is to provide an opportunity for academic excellence within a Christ-centered environment that complements the teaching of the church and school.

JAMES ISLAND CHRISTIAN SCHOOL IS.... an amazing community united by a shared passion for Christian education.

We are tremendously blessed to have dedicated faculty who know and love their students and are experts in their fields. Our beautiful campus provides a safe and secure environment in which students can focus on learning and growing into the young men and women God has created them to be. In all things, we teach and learn through a Biblical worldview.

In our lower school, our academic programs are intentionally designed to develop students who are inquisitive and engaged. Our middle school program is designed to allow students to explore their unique gifts and talents through new experiences and areas of study while still offering a tremendous amount of support. The high school provides strong academic offerings allowing students to pursue their interests and embrace intellectual curiosity. Students learn to answer life’s questions from a Biblical worldview.

We desire to provide to all of our students an educational experience that is balanced and supportive. Our mission is to prepare students for college and beyond in all aspects: spiritually, academically, socially, and physically.

Thank you for your interest in James Island Christian School. We look forward to welcoming you to the JICS family!
