Philosophy that education goes beyond limitations
JBS supports the philosophy that education goes beyond the limitations of the classroom. As a result, we have a varied and exciting range of sporting, creative, cultural and aesthetic activities.
The health and safety of the JBS community is our first and main priority during this current climate and the school is taking every precaution to ensure the health and safety of every person who enters the campus. We want to continue to deliver both sporting and non-sporting activities that nurture our students to discover their passion and reach their potential, regardless of ability or aspiration.
Developing your Child’s universal skills
Working with over 20 of Dubai’s top academies, we encourage our students to engage with the extra-curricular opportunities across academic, art, performance, language, design and sporting activities, all of which are focused around a bespoke learning journey and outcome where students are likely to develop their skills specific to that activity as well as a range of universal skills which are increasingly relevant like:
Leadership
Collaboration
Resilience
Perseverance
Responsibility
Commitment
These skills play a vital role in generating a positive, nurturing environment that is so important for students to succeed academically as well as in their life beyond JBS. Attending extra-curricular academies have successfully helped pupils gain placement at some of the world’s top universities. It is evident that more and more universities look beyond just the academic grades and are also interested in the extra-curricular activities the applicants were involved in. A focus on resilience and perseverance has been noted to gauge if applicants have the capacity to complete some of the universities more challenging degree courses.
Highlights of our Previous Trips and Excursions
Our new EAS programme runs in three distinct terms enabling students to attend a greater variety of activities over the course of the year:
Term 1
September – December
Term 2

Term 3

All of our external providers offering their programmes at JBS are carefully considered, from the policies and precautions they are taking to ensure the safe operation of the programme and the safety of the students to how each individual programme can help the student grow and improve their confidence, knowledge, health and well-being.
