James Irwin Charter Schools

James Irwin Charter Schools ("JICS") is a Charter Management Organization ("CMO"), a nonprofit that was formed to administratively support James Irwin Charter High School, James Irwin Charter Middle School, James Irwin Charter Elementary School, as well as new schools embracing our culture, performance, and mission.

By centralizing and sharing certain functions and resources across schools, CMOs aim to enhance school performance and student outcomes, achieve greater efficiency, and expand and sustain schools. With continued growth, JICS hopes to support more schools in the future with its brand of excellence in administrative care, spreading the founders' mission "to help guide students in the development of their character and academic potential through academically rigorous, content-rich educational programs."
