The Difference
Today, parents are provided with mult iple choices when
it comes to their need for a school. What sets one school
apart f rom the rest is the dependabilit y aspect. At JSS
Private School we have set in place a system where
scholast ic learning is supplemented with learning f rom
various other sources. There is a strong integrat ion of
technology where educat ional methods and materials
are enhanced with smart boards/ mult imedia and a wide
range of learning sof tware.
We have t ie- ups with many leading internat ionally
recognised universit ies. These t ie- ups enable us to
provide an educat ion that is par excellence. We believe
that the students and their parents have placed their
t rust on us and it is our responsibilit y to live up to their
expectat ions.
The Curriculum
JSS Private School follows the curriculum laid down
by the Central Board of Secondary Educat ion (CBSE).
The curriculum aims to promote crit ical and creative
thinking skills, ef fect ive communicat ion skills as well as
interpersonal and collaborat ive skills.
St rong emphasis is provided for creat ive and critical
thinking programmes, discussions, debates and research
with a Cont inuousand Comprehensive Evaluat ion Syst em.
The focus on internat ionally benchmarked curriculum is
a response to the challenges of teaching students in a
globalised world. In addit ion to knowledge, it is becoming
increasingly important for people to have the right
at t itude, a willingness to learn and an understanding on
how to collaborate in teams. The curriculum focuses on
innovat ive programmes like Perspect ives, Life Skills and
Social Empowerment through Work and Act ion (SEWA)
and Research.
In Life Skills, students develop crit ical thinking,
interpersonal skills, communicat ion skills and cooperat ion
skills.
Students gain global and local insights to issues through
discussions and debates in perspect ives. SEWA is
introduced to students f rom Grade I onwards that will
mandate community services every year with an NGO or
organisat ion of their choice, recording their experiences
in a journal.

This is the stage when the children take their fi rst step
The strength of the school depends to a very large extent
on the qualit y of teachers. Total care is taken at the t ime
of recruit ing teachers. The school has in place a very
strict policy guideline that has to be followed when it
comes to recruitment of teachers. This ensures that only
the best and committed teachers are selected. We have

Various club act ivit ies and inter house competit ions are
arranged to develop the spirit of healthy competit ion
among the students.
At JSS Private School we strongly believe that co-
curricular and extra curricular act ivit ies are as important
as academic act ivit ies. A round- the- year act ivity plan
ensures the over all physical and mental development of
the students.
HOUSE SYSTEM
Understanding the importance of working in teams
and team spirit are the primary object ives of the house
system. All the students in the school are divided into

competit ive spirit , team building and sportsmanship
spirit among others.

responsibility and interact with the school authorit ies on
behalf of the student community. The Council comprises
of a Head Boy, Head Girl, House Leaders, Deputy Leaders,
Prefects, Sport s Secret ary and a Cultural Secret ary. These
representat ives are selected among the students. They
meet periodically and it is their responsibilit y to provide
leadership for the groups placed under their charge.
SCHOOL CLUBS
To bring out the hidden talents of the students and to
provide them with an avenue to channelize their talents,
there are a host of clubs in the school. The act ive clubs
are Literary Club, Science Club, Civic Club, Mathematics
Club, Fine Arts Club, Library Club, Nature Club, Adventure
Club and Sport s Club. These clubs are act ive throughout
the academic year and aid in inculcat ing key values.

by teamwork and participation, while inculcating love for the UAE, and the Indian
cultural heritage.

for the faculty, students and the wider JSSPS community. Special assemblies
in Arabic, on Islamic studies, exhibitions and guest speakers help students
value and appreciate the local culture.
Field trips bring these values of the UAE alive. UAE is also integrated across
the classrooms at all levels along with Arabic classes in all grades.
Elem ents ofthe UA E atJSSPS
