Why use JCS?
Trusted and valued by schools worldwide
Over 2,000 schools globally choose JCS to provide a wide selection of high-quality trusted resources from top publishers at affordable rates along with excellent customer service and support.
JCS has been providing its highly-regarded subscription service to schools for over 14 years. You can read our story on the 'About JCS' page but here are the 4 top reasons why schools use and value our subscription service.
Quality of resources
JCS spends time identifying and reviewing quality resources for schools suitable for as many curricula as possible - resources which will add greater depth to students’ studies and develop their ability to think critically helping to raise standards and prepare them for higher education.
Best pricing
Negotiating the best subscription rates with each publisher is central to our work. We work hard to secure the most affordable rates on behalf of all schools regardless of country. Being fair and transparent about pricing is extremely important to us which is why we don't enter into any bargaining with individual schools. We also negotiate group discounts with publishers when requested.
The top publishers
We represent a range of top publishers of digital resources, most of whom are providers to Higher Education institutions worldwide. This means they have excellent user-friendly platforms for hosting their content with many handy tools to make researching easy.
Excellent customer service
Everyone likes to receive excellent service and have their problems and queries resolved quickly and efficiently - this is what the JCS team is always aiming to do. We know every product inside out, so we can answer most questions ourselves on the spot, but if not, we’re able to get quick responses from the relevant publisher.
Your team never fails to provide timely assistance and useful information. Thank you for your good work!
