We are delighted to win the Best Blended International Baccalaureate School in the UAE 2021-2022 in the Schools Compared Awards.
"Winning this award is great recognition for all our staff who work tirelessly to ensure that every student at JESS reaches their potential from the first year of school to the last year of school. Being a non-selective and not-for-profit school, this accolade is important and shows that a JESS Education can Make A Difference,"
explained Shane O'Brien, Director at JESS.
Thank you to the judging panel and to Schoolscompared.com and Which School Advisor for hosting these awards.
JESSFest is our first-ever Music Festival, where performers from across the three schools (JESS Jumeriah, JESS Primary and JESS Secondary at Arabian Ranches) will come together to perform across 3 stages at our Arabian Ranches Campus. JESSFest will be a fun, family day filled with a wide array of music styles including bands, orchestras, choirs, rock groups and soloists. Performances will take place across 3 different stages around the school. With over 300 performers involved, it promises to be a very special event. As well as all of the amazing music, we will have food trucks on site, as well as vendors to create a real festival vibe. Bring your picnic blankets, camping chairs, cushions and/or beanbags as the music is set to last until 8pm.
