International Student Program

Holly Stanton, International Director

Jackson, Michigan USA

Jackson Christian School has been welcoming International Students since 2005. Our understanding of the unique needs of International Students has led us to develop a positive school atmosphere that allows students to grow in their understanding of both the language and culture in an affirming and family-oriented environment. Our teachers at JCS are accustomed to interacting with students from many cultures which helps our International Students adjust more quickly.
