Strong Commitment to Safety
We take every measure to ensure students are safe physically, socially, emotionally, and even digitally.
Small Class Sizes
JICS offers many of the opportunities found at a large school but inside a small small class, close knit community, where they are known by name.
Thriving Community
We parent with the teachings of the home and church. As a community, we are equipping the next generation to lead in their homes, communities and churches.
"At JICS, we believe each child has a God-given purpose that only he or she can fulfill in this world by His grace. JICS provides a unique opportunity to explore each students' strengths/weaknesses, seek out their passion/what motivates them, and provide a chance to learn from/engage with leaders around them -- to get to KNOW them and help them know themselves. Our children are tomorrow's leaders and their educational experience at JICS is rooted in an effort to reveal and equip them for the Lord's unique purpose for their life." --- Jenny Honeycutt, Parent and JICS Alumni
