At JBCN International School, academic excellence and co-curricular development are two sides of the same coin – where one cannot exist without the other. JBCN International School embodies the inspirational vision of its founder, Mrs Pinky Dalal, a passionate educationist who believes that each child can achieve and excel if given the right platform. Her educational philosophy, evolved over thirty years of work in the educational arena, sees learning as an EduCreative process that nurtures each child’s unique set of talents, strengths and skills through a balanced Mind Body Soul programme of academic experience, artistic exploration, sports education and social awareness.
BLAZE TO BRILLIANCE
JBCN believes that in today’s globalizing world, it is important that the learners become aware and compassionate citizens, which is why it inculcates values of compassion from early days through JBCN Care, Aware, and Heal initiatives. The academic philosophy has been formed over years of experience. To put it simply, it would be ‘learning for understanding’ and ensuring holistic learning. The conceptual basis of all the efforts at JBCN International is learning for deeper understanding. Through its dynamic teaching methodologies which combine thematic and interdisciplinary approaches, every learner becomes an active participant in the learning process. Simply put, this approach introduces the learner to a “big conceptual idea” through an interdisciplinary theme that connects all learning to a ‘big picture’ that facilitates deeper understanding. Learning is continuous and links different subjects. JBCN’s programme has been planned to develop higher order thinking skills that go beyond rote learning and acquisition of information. The learners will develop an ability to analyse and synthesise, to evaluate and interpret information, so that they can meaningfully apply it to a variety of problem-solving situations in real life.
FAITH FACTOR
Being an educational institute, its core competency is the academic programme and the unique way in which its faculty is able to engage the learners. While its pre primary follows the CIE framework, it has introduced aspects of thematic learning and inquiry based thinking to ensure that the programme truly allows inquirers and thinkers to develop. As they grow older, the brand allows them to focus on academia but also give them time to explore other aspects of their personality. JBCN has a strong leadership team in place who may not have the answers to everything but have the confidence to recru
