“ACHIEVING EXCELLENCE TOGETHER"

Few things are of greater importance to parents than the education of their children. For over thirty years JESS, as a non-profit making school, has provided children in Dubai with a high quality education in a challenging environment for learning. The first JESS school was founded in September 1975 and the school has built a reputation as one of the finest British curriculum primary schools.

Philosophy
The school’s total energy is directed at:

• The provision and enhancement of high quality teaching and learning.
• Positive and supportive relationships between students, parents, staff and the wider community.
• This is achieved through educational processes and structures which we identify and develop in our students:

Critical Intelligence
This involves the development of the skills of language, mathematics, verbal reasoning, logic, memory and the processing of information. These are developed through a structured and focused academic curriculum which supports and challenges all students.

Creative Intelligence
This involves the ability to think and act with fluency, innovation, flexibility and originality. These qualities are developed through a broad and balanced curriculum which recognises each student’s strengths and abilities wherever their talents may lie. 

Emotional Intelligence
This involves the ability to translate a set of common values into attitudes and behaviour where students act and think with moral insight and a sense of understanding of the needs of others.

• The JESS experience is enriched by the cultural diversity of the city of Dubai and the United Arab Emirates.
• The JESS experience develops an understanding of the responsibilities of global citizenship 
• The JESS experience requires a commitment from everyone involved to work together in an atmosphere of ease, dignity and mutual respect.

Quality Assurance
The Assurance of Quality is at the heart of an effective school. To provide the very best possible JESS experience we strive for excellence in all aspects of our activity and to rank highest in earned reputation for educating students in a way that enables each individual to fulfill their potential.  In pursuit of excellence JESS recognises the necessity for continued advancement in quality in all our activities. Bearing this in mind we accept that:

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence therefore is not an act, but a habit.”
