Student Life

Education is more than lessons. At JIS, character, friendship and joy are on the timetable too.

A day at JIS

Whole children, whole days

We believe in a holistic approach: each child finds identity, meaning and purpose through connection — to their community, to the natural world, and to values of compassion and peace. Here is what surrounds the academics:

Counseling at JIS

Counseling & Wellbeing

Dedicated counselors for personal growth, study skills and university guidance — plus a message for parents each term.

Athletics and PE

Athletics & PE

PE across all grades, swimming from KG3, playgrounds and team sports that teach fair play as much as fitness.

An on-campus clinic, published emergency procedures and a Child Protection Policy that every adult on campus knows.
