Welcome to the JCS Family
The JCS Family is comprised of WASC-accredited, FREE public charter schools, home study, and alternative programs that are located throughout Southern California and Southern Riverside County.
Welcome to the Family
JCS was established in November 1999 (under a management organization) as a K-12 non-classroom based charter school. In 2000, the School, as a 501(c)(3) organization, incrementally began taking ownership of curriculum, instruction and assessment; finance, facilities, and business management; and organization, governance, and administration becoming a fully independent, direct funded, incorporated charter school by the 2002-2003 school year.
From inception, the School was designed to meet the needs of students under served by traditional delivery systems of education or for families with a strong desire to home school.
The School received an initial charter for two years and has had three additional five-year renewals.
A Message from our Executive Director
At JCS, student success has always been a top priority. The JCS family of charter schools are WASC-accredited, public charter schools serving students TK-12 mainly in San Diego and Riverside counties encouraging students to become independent lifelong learners. The curriculum at JCS is designed to be flexible enough to work with parents’ visions while providing structure and support for students through personalized learning designed to draw out student strengths.
The original school was established in 1999 to serve an under-represented, under-served population. Initially, JCS had no facilities and through the requests of teachers, parents, and students we began to incorporate some classroom instruction with home study instruction. This proved to be wildly successful and JCS now has a total of six charter schools serving students in San Diego and Riverside.
At JCS parents are partners in the educational process, they are watching their child grow into becoming an independent, self-directed learner. That is a goal for all parents: to inspire their child’s love of learning and watch them grow! At JCS, it is our mission to help parents and students accomplish that goal!
