Current Parents
Welcome!
James Irwin Charter Schools has six schools on four different campuses. Our schools have been recognized nationally, statewide, and locally for academic excellence and achievement. Beginning with our academic “College Kindergarten” and culminating in our rigorous, college-preparatory high school, the network’s mission and passion is to provide the highest quality education while developing the character of our students.

“Attending James Irwin thoroughly prepared me for college. This school provides a safe and positive learning environment in which the teachers encourage students in their academic work as well as in their co-curricular activities.”

“One of the best things I've ever done for my son was send him to PTEC. He's learning skills that will give him a career and help him thrive. Even better, the teachers and staff, sincerely care about the students, not only academically but also, personally!!”

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.
