Our progressive learning environment nurtures the abilities of each learner through innovative pedagogy, personalised learning pathways and meaningful engagements. Our EduCreative experiences focus on developing the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and attributes that our learners will need to thrive as future leaders and catalysts of change in an ever-evolving world. By instilling a deep sense of social responsibility, we strive to shape compassionate global citizens who actively contribute to creating a more just, sustainable, and harmonious society.

Key Programme Features:

• Individualized Support: Each learner benefits from personalised guidance to manage academic demands and balance co-curricular activities.
• Skill Development: Focused on developing critical thinking, research, and communication skills that are essential for university success.
• Assessment and Feedback: Regular assessments and feedback help learners track progress, identify their strengths, and address areas for improvement.
• Global Mindset: Through cross-disciplinary projects, learners gain perspectives that prepare them to engage thoughtfully and effectively in a globalised world.

The EduCreative Experience

• At JBCN International School, our commitment to holistic learning extends beyond academics, encouraging learners to explore a wide array of interests through co-curricular and afterschool programmes. Learners engage in sports like cricket, football, and athletics, along with dance, theatre, and visual arts. Through cultural competitions, MUNs, TEDx events, and debates, they develop creative, critical thinking, and communication skills, building confidence and self-expression.
• Our learners are also dedicated to making a difference through meaningful community projects. JBCN has adopted several schools in underserved areas near Mumbai, where learners contribute directly to educational access and quality. In one project, where the school had adopted the Zilla Parishad School in the outskirts of Mumbai, the learners of JBCN raised over 2.5 million INR (around $30,000 USD) to build hygienic washrooms for a school, which significantly improved attendance of the female students.
• JBCN has also adopted the Abhinav School for the underprivileged children near Mumbai to address challenges like low resources and inconsistent attendance. The initiatives undertaken by the learners of JBCN included the provision of bus service for pre-primary learners, significantly improving attendance and access to education. Enrolment at Abhinav School also increased in Grades 1 to 3.
• The JBCN Learners also raise awareness on issues like menstrual hygiene and education rights for underprivileged girls, including those in orphanages.

Through these experiences, JBCN learners cultivate empathy and social responsibility, preparing to become leaders and advocates for positive change. In addition to this, the learners of JBCN are also made aware about the critical climate change and environmental issues that plague our planet, encouraging the learners to participate and lead initiatives such as Beach-Clean Up drives with the Afroz Shah Foundation, Tree Restoration Drives and initiatives that include the “Walk to School”, Plastic Waste Collection Drives across our campuses.

The EduCreative experience at JBCN nurtures learners to grow academically, creatively, and socially, helping them become the changemakers of tomorrow.
