Electronics and Cell Phone Policy
JICHS will return to using Yondr bags to be in compliance with State Proviso 1.103.
Students are required to lock their phone in a Yondr bag by the beginning of the 1st period bell; phones must be powered off, in airplane mode, or do not disturb.
Yondr pouches will remain in the students’ bookbag the rest of the day.
First period teachers will ensure that all students have a locked Yondr.
This is the most critical aspect of the procedure as ensuring Yondr bags are locked in 1st period removes any and all cell phone monitoring by teachers for the remainder of the day since students will not be able to unlock the bags until 3:30.

We Are JICHS!
Welcome to the beautiful James Island Charter High School. We are the zoned high school for James Island and Folly Beach residents. However, our charter allows us to open our doors to students across Charleston County. The focus of our charter is the prestigious and challenging international baccalaureate program. We are the only high school in the district that offers the full IB diploma program and we are one of the top rated comprehensive high schools in the state of South Carolina. Besides our IB courses, we offer a variety of dual enrollment and advanced placement courses.
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme
For more than 20 years, we have been proud to offer the International Baccalaureate curriculum in pursuit of this commitment to our students, families and community.
The IB Diploma is a rigorous 2 year curriculum that aims to cultivate open-minded, balanced and reflective learners who seek to make positive changes in the world. This approach is unique in its focus on the holistic development of the student through its emphasis on global perspectives and inquiry based learning. Moreover, IB learners develop a greater understanding of global citizenship through engaging in content while considering diverse worldviews on a local and global level.
Prospective and current families can learn more about IB at JICHS through the "More about JI IB" tool at the top of this page or contacting Greg Webster, IB Coordinator, at gregory_webster.c@charleston.k12.sc.us.
AVID PROGRAM
JICHS offers the Advancement via Individual Determination (AVID) program. It is an academic elective course that prepares students forcollege readiness and success through strategies focused on writing, inquiry, collaboration, organization and reading support.
Big Beyond Scholar Program
Partnering with James Island Charter High School's (JICHS) Equity & Access Team, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Lowcountry (BBBSL) launched the BIG Beyond, a three-year curriculum-guided program designed to help prepare high potential African-American scholars for life BEYOND graduation.
In the spring of each year, JICHS recommends to BBBSL a cohort of 25-30 rising sophomores for participation in the program.

We are preparing college/career ready students!
Students may also choose from 41 different career technical education courses and 17 different completer programs such as Health Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Building and Construction Management, and Culinary Arts.
Visual Arts Department
Within our visual arts department, we offer a foundation course of Art 1 followed by a variety of classes exploring two and three dimensional media like IB and AP Art, Ceramics, Graphic Design and Photography. Our students' work is frequently recognized by numerous local, state and national art competitions.
Performing Arts
We have a well rounded performing arts program that features instruction in band, chorus, string orchestra, theater, jazz and percussion ensembles and many more. These programs consistently receive superior ratings in state competitions.
Our Piano program currently has the most students enrolled in any of our performing arts classes with 175 students this year---that's more than double of anything else we offer here at JI. It is the largest piano program in the greater Charleston area and in the southeastern US. It is one of the programs that really make JI stand out from other schools.
