Student Life
JCS Student Life
Middle School & High School
Developing well rounded students who are equipped to be world changers requires that the Jackson Christian School experience include many student opportunities.
The Royal Players Performance of Meet Me in St. Louis
Students can engage in a variety of groups and activities.
Engaging in extracurricular activities such as weekly chapel, spiritual emphasis week and class retreats is mandatory for all students. Over 80% of JCS middle and high school students participate in at least one of our athletic teams. Other extracurricular activities are based on student interest and in some cases auditions or other requirements.
Royal Players is a traveling drama ministry team that is both a class and an extra-curricular activity.
In addition to producing the annual Variety Show and the school play, the Royal Players perform and minister at churches and schools for seven months of the year during their annual tour. Auditions take place in the spring during course scheduling.
Student Praise Team
Student Praise and Worship Band provide an opportunity for student involvement in high school. Praise and worship band allows students to use their God-given gifts while receiving leadership training.
Honors Choir and Jazz Band
Honors Choir and Jazz Band are classes and also offer special performance opportunities throughout the year. Auditions take place in the spring during course scheduling.
Concerts and Shows
Three main performance opportunities are offered annually with other events scheduled from time to time as well. The Christmas and Spring Concerts are music department events. The Annual Variety Show is the JCS talent show. Auditions are held in the fall for all kinds of talent. Auditions are open to middle and high school students.
International Student Ambassadors Club
International students are part of the fabric of Jackson Christian Middle and High school. To provide the best American experience possible the International Club matches JCS International students with 9-12 grade domestic student mentors. Club members participate in monthly activities that give our international students a sampling of American life. Mentors commit to befriending our international students and helping them become comfortable within American school and Jackson Christian School culture. Students are invited to apply for membership in the club the spring of each year.
Serving as Mentors to New Students
Sophomore, Junior and Senior students serve as mentors to new middle school students through the mentoring program. Incoming sixth grade and other new middle school students are matched with a high school mentor. Mentors agree to help their student acclimate to middle school academically, socially and spiritually. Interested students are invited to apply to become a mentor in the spring.
