At JIS, children begin their education in the Early Years (Nursery, Kindergarten and Reception), which follows the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework.

Students then progress into the IGCSE programme (Year 10-11), a two-year British curriculum that culminates in exams, providing a strong foundation for further education.

In the Sixth Form (Years 12-13), students choose between three pathways: A Levels, the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma or the International BTEC. These diverse options allow students to pursue their goals and interests, preparing them for future success in whichever field they choose to enter.
