Introducing the Next Generation Parenting Series
Helping Parents Equip Future Generation Students
As part of our mission to “complement the teachings of the home and the church,” James Island Christian School has launched an annual Next Generation Parenting series, focusing on three key themes: technology, sexuality, and mental health. Each theme features a guest expert on the topic, designed to help families grow together as we tackle these different topics around parenting. Resources and learning aids accompany each speaking event at no charge to attendees.
