Our Philosophy

Our approach to education is “instructivism”.  It is the teacher’s job to dynamically, persistently, carefully teach so that students are efficiently learning essential knowledge and skills.  We strive to do "What's Best For Students."

Our History

The founders held strongly that students should receive a rigorous, liberal arts education that would prepare them for college and that the school should provide an academic environment for students to learn and develop noble character.

Why JICS?

One of the most important decisions a parent makes is where to send their children to school.  Our CEO, Rob Daugherty, outlines what are the significant reasons that a parent should consider in determining if JICS would be a great fit.
