James River Elementary School is a magnet school of the Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools (WJCC). The school offers the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, one of only five such schools in Virginia. [1]

The school address is 8901 Pocahontas Trail, Williamsburg, VA 23185. The school is co-located with the James River Community Center in the Grove Community on U.S. Route 60 about 6 miles east of the city limits of Williamsburg in James City County.

[edit] History

The land on which the school and community center are situated was once part of Martin's Hundred in James Cittie, an incorporation of the Virginia Company of London which was established in 1619, twelve years after the first permanent English settlement in the present United States was established at Jamestown on May 14, 1607. The school site is also adjacent to historic Carter's Grove Plantation.
