Welcome to James Island Christian School

Imagine your child growing in a school where faith, character, and academic excellence come together. At James Island Christian School, we partner with families to provide a Christ‑centered, biblically based education that nurtures spiritual growth and academic excellence. Our rigorous curriculum challenges students to think critically, communicate with clarity, and grow in wisdom and knowledge, all through the lens of a biblical worldview.

From dynamic fine arts and competitive athletics that foster teamwork and Christ‑like character, to passionate, highly qualified teachers who care deeply about each student’s success, JICS is a place where students are known, valued, and encouraged to lead.

Driven by our core values - Christ‑centered, biblically based, academically excellent, and service‑driven - we are committed to shaping young leaders who are equipped not just for academic success, but for a life of purpose, service, and eternal impact.
