For more than 20 years, James Island Charter High School has proudly offered the International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) in service of our students, families, and community.

The IB Diploma Programme is more than a course of study—it is an educational experience. This rigorous, two-year program is intentionally student-centered and holistic, developing open-minded, balanced, and reflective learners who think critically, act with purpose, and engage meaningfully with the world around them. Through inquiry-based learning and global perspectives, students explore ideas deeply while learning alongside a close-knit, supportive academic community.

An IB education provides a distinct advantage in university admissions and long-term academic success. IB Diploma candidates are widely recognized by colleges and universities as among the most capable, motivated, and well-rounded applicants in the United States and abroad. James Island Charter High School is the only school in Charleston County authorized to offer the IB Diploma Programme.
