Junior Secondary

At EIS, we believe that a student who is encouraged and motivated to view learning as a lifelong and exciting process, has attained a high level of academic skills and understandings. The student demonstrates positive social and cultural values. They will be equipped to meet the future educational challenges they will face. We understand and support the development and growth that our students are experiencing physically, socially, emotionally and academically.

The JSS is a transition phase that follows a student’s journey from childhood towards life as a young adult. This phase demands a special programme, and our curriculum at this stage addresses students varied levels of emotional, physical and intellectual development. Subjects are integrated to create rich learning experiences which will enable students to make meaningful links among their topic of study in the classroom and the “real world” beyond the school walls. As students at this stage become deeply engaged with special interests and pursuits, they have new opportunities to investigate, use and share their growing skills and understandings.

Students in JSS are increasingly able to reflect on their capacities as learners. A strong emphasis is placed on developing an understanding of personal strengths and areas for growth, on building confidence, and skills for leadership. Our holistic approach to education enables students to explore many possible paths to success. This is a time of self-exploration, self-discovery, and a growing understanding of, “Who I am and who I can be”.
