Educational Excellence
As one might expect in an area that Reader's Digest selected Jacksonville as one of the country's "Top 25 Places to Raise a Family", it also affords families with exceptional educational opportunities at every level.
The Onslow County School systems provide quality instruction in excellent learning environments. Please visit the Onslow County Schools systems website for detailed information:

"Coastal Carolina Community College, located in Jacksonville, North Carolina, home to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and Marine Corps Air Station, New River, Coastal recognizes that we serve two very distinct communities - a proud military community, rich with tradition and reverence for our American heritage, and an equally proud civilian community, who remain steadfast and solid amidst constant change.
Coastal Carolina Community College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (1866 Southern Lane, Decator, Georgia 30033-4097: Telephone number 404-679-4501) to award associate degrees, diplomas, and certificates.
Coastal is an integral member of the local economic development team by providing effective and timely training for our local work force through our Division of Continuing Education.
As an institution, we have committed ourselves to providing educational quality, making an investment in technology, forming cooperative partnerships and teamwork, and striving for positive growth in the economic development of Jacksonville/Onslow County.
Knowing our community and the people we serve, being accessible to them, understanding their goals, and making the necessary internal adjustments to meet their immediate and long-term needs is what Coastal is all about. We have made it one of our goals to continuously scan our environment for new challenges, make adjustments, and help prepare our community and its residents to prosper in the 21st Century."
