Learning Beyond the classroom

Achieving Academic Excellence

Learning at JBCN International is not confined to the classroom alone but seeks to broaden the learner’s horizons in a variety of ways.

Learning for Understanding

The conceptual basis of all our efforts at JBCN International is learning for deeper understanding. Through our dynamic teaching methodologies which combine thematic and interdisciplinary approaches, every learner becomes an active participant in the learning process. Simply put, this approach introduces the learner to a “big conceptual idea” through an interdisciplinary theme that connects all learning into a ‘big picture’ that facilitates deeper understanding.

Learning is continuous and links different subjects. Our programme has been planned to develop higher order thinking skills that go beyond rote learning and acquisition of information. Our learners will develop an ability to analyse and synthesise, to evaluate and interpret information, so that they can meaningfully apply it to a variety of problem-solving situations in real life.

An array of short workshops:

  • Science workshops which enables learners to become inventors and creators in real life situations
  • Amateur Astronomy –a series of hands-on sessions on astronomy
  • Art Around the World – an interesting series of short programmes on understanding Art around the world, including genres such as Renaissance and Modern art.
  • Art & Craft through a dynamic programme involving fun and physical play
  • Golf –short workshops on golf, its history, technique, use of equipment and skill development
