Technology

We are committed to preparing your students for the 21st century workplace. At JCS, technology is integrated regularly into the curriculum classroom. We offer a 2:1 student to device ratio. Students use iPads, MacBook Airs, and PC desktops with numerous apps to augment the educational experience both at school and at home. Every grade incorporates technology for inquiry-based, student-directed, hands-on learning. We also have SMART Technology in every classroom, bringing together all the technology and content in the classroom seamlessly. SMART TV displays help our teachers leverage student devices more meaningfully, while easily managing connected devices, content, and learning experiences – both in and out of the classroom.

Spiritual Life

Often the middle school years can be confusing, turbulent, and isolating, so for a child to understand they were made in the image of Christ, they must be in a supportive environment with teachers and staff who have a heart for and training in discipleship. Our middle school provides the following to ensure each child can reach their full God-given potential:

· Walking in Truth Bible curriculum

· Weekly chapel and GAP groups

· Daily homeroom and Bible period

· Elective offerings to strengthen and showcase the interests, gifts, and abilities of students including General Music, Band and Choir, Spanish, Art, Drama, Computers, Library and PE.

· Club Offerings: Art, Photography, Baking, Chess, Guitar, STEM and more!

Leadership

R.E.A.C.H. Week

Our mission at JCS is to teach the mind, reach the heart, and inspire servant leadership within our students. One of the ways we live out and realize our mission is through a yearly, long-standing, and favored tradition here at JCS! This week is focused on allowing our students to Reflect, Enrich, Affirm, Create, and Hear as we intentionally connect spiritual formation and classroom learning with service opportunities throughout our local, national, and global community. In addition, students get to see how they can have an impact on the world and others as they are available to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ.

Pathways

As an integral part of JCS college-preparatory programming, the Pathways are designed to expose students to professional fields and career opportunities through specialized curriculum, mentoring relationships, and experiential learning. Alongside general education requirements, the JCS Pathways Program is a focused, innovative course of study to prepare students to be competitive and successful in college in the current professional climate. JCS students have the opportunity to hone critical industry skills, make strides toward their future goals, and connect with internship and career opportunities. We currently offer four distinct Pathways, with new opportunities for additional programming on the horizon!
