Pre Primary Section:

Pre-Nursery education has been designed and conceived by our highly experienced trained Teachers. The child learns to discover, explore and experiment in a stimulating and conducive environment. Our focus at the Pre-Primary level is to make the transition between the secure home environment and formal schooling, interesting and as smooth as possible for the child. Emphasis is on nurturing the child's imagination, creativity and providing him opportunities to express himself freely. We lay stress upon developing basic language skills with the help of phonetics and conversation. A sound knowledge of phonetics helps the child to build spellings independently. It is a method of creating an environment which fosters the fulfillment of their highest potential. EPL (Exercise of Practical Learning) prepares the children to face the challenges of everyday life and helps in building concentration. Various celebrations in the school and round-the-year activities allow self-expression, experimentation and questioning; thereby developing a scientific temper. There is a perfect balance of active and quiet activities, structured, besides the free-play activities.

Classes I TO II:

"If I cannot learn the way you teach me,
Can you not teach me the way I can learn?"

A child's mind is like wet clay and needs to be handled with care. Keeping this in mind, we at JNJ provide an encouraging and loving atmosphere, fused with a lot of fun, so that students shed their inhibitions and learn with a free mind. The methodology that we use to teach the students of classes 1 & 2 is ACTIVITY BASED SMART LEARNING, which involves a lot of co-curricular activities which assist the children in comprehending and retaining the concept in a better way. The curriculum planned focuses more on depth and is progressive and flexible in its approach and is adjusted according to the learner's need. Assessment at this level is not formal. The children are given activity based assignments to check the retention of the concepts taught. At this level we emphasize more on experiential learning. Our aim is to prepare the children to read, write and do mathematics. We also promote self control and inner discipline in children through appropriate interaction.

Classes III TO V:

The child, already familiar with the basic skills in Language, is now initiated into formal instructions through interactive techniques. The emphasis is on usage and application. In Environmental Science the focus is on developing scientific aptitude and making him aware of his/her surroundings. In Mathematics, problem-solving techniques are taught using application based methods. The co-curricular activities allow them not only to gain confidence but also help them realize their potential in various fields. The important aim at this level is the learning of basics and forming a sound foundation which will enable the child to study more complex topics and problems at the succeeding levels. The instruction/curricular is planned as per the CCE.

Classes VI TO VIII:

JNJ is known for its well designed system that fosters both academic and personal growth of its Jillians, so that they can analyze and evaluate their experience, learn to doubt, to question, to investigate and to think independently. Our middle school curriculum provides and promotes a learning environment based upon developmental readiness, needs and interests.

Middle school is the stage of transition for the students from an activity based learning environment in the primary section, to the stage where teaching methodology is completely focused on the pursuit of knowledge and development of understanding and skills necessary to interpret experience.

1. Co-operative Learning: It develops intellectual autonomy in young adolescents to interact in heterogonous groups to support the learning of self and others in the same group.
2. Student centered learning: It facilitates students engagement during class by designing hands on activities that help students construct their own meaning of the new concept taught in class. Here students socially interact with their teachers and peers through discussions.
3. Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation to meet five basic needs - survival, belonging, power, freedom and fun for the young adolescents.
4. Student-led parent teacher conference: Students take ownership of their learning and they are able to reflect on what they have learned, accomplished or have yet to accomplish. Self regulation is inculcated in their personalities.
5. Teacher student relationships: A strong, healthy and understanding relationship is developed between a teacher and a student to positively motivate students.
6. Visuals and Labs: Use of visuals such as Smart boards in the class rooms, well structured activities and research based programmes help in developing concepts and applications in various subjects, including English, Hindi, Mathematics, Science, Soc. Science, Sanskrit and Computer.
7. Other strategies: Case studies reflecting real life experiences as a part of Personality Development projects, field trips, parents as guest speakers, peer tutoring, Role play or skits are some of other effective teaching methodologies used in our school. Games and hobbies are also given emphasis to encourage exploration of values, foster imagination and develop physical and athletic skills.

We follow the RBSE (CCE) pattern at middle school level to meet learning objectives, such as:-

1. to develop cognitive, psychomotor and effective skills
2. to emphasize thought process and reduce emphasis on memorization.
3. to make evaluation an integral part of the teaching learning process.
4. to use evaluation for improving students' achievements and teaching-learning strategies on the basis of regular diagnosis followed by remedial instruction.

We ensure such Assessment tasks are given which involve collaboration, discussion and reflection. Speaking and learning skills, presentation skills and practical skills and all the co-scholastic areas are assessed formatively.

Classes IX & X:

All the teachers at JNJ, aim primarily to help the learner with systematic learning and development. Technology plays an important role in enhancing the learning system. The crucial factor in the teaching process is the quality of the lesson given by the teacher.

Teachers use various types of modern teaching aids to connect with students, along with interactive and creative class room teaching. Our Campus is equipped with modern teaching aids such as Interactive White boards, Visualisers, response system, projectors and educational software.

Academics: Our learning methodology extends beyond prescribed text books where students are encouraged to study complex topics based on experiential learning. The school follows modular scheduling to educate the pupils. The school works for Six days a week.

The major emphasis of CCE at the class IX, X level is on continuous growth of students, ensuring their intellectual, emotional, physical, cultural and social development.

The CCE pattern has been ingrained effectively with justified and equal importance being given to scholastic and non-scholastic areas in academics.

3 Unit Exams with Half yearly and Annual Exam for Class IX and Pre-Boards for Class X in the entire academic year according to RBSE guidelines.
