I love the environment and the campus is beautiful. Everyone wants our students to be great and works toward that common goal. My coworkers share their wealth of knowledge with me, and I'm treated like a professional.

Middle School Teacher

This is the most supportive community of teachers, leaders, students, and parents. If you listen to the stories teachers and students tell, it's easy to see that our values, vision, and mission are embedded in our policies and practices. I think it is really special that these are lived and not just words on the wall. It makes it hard to imagine going anywhere else.

Ryan Burke
Associate Principal for Student Life and Well-being

I love the lush green campus where you really feel connected to nature. I love that I see a holistic approach to teaching and learning in action each day. It's visible and not just words in a mission and vision statement. I love the connections that we have to our host country and that this is a priority for JIS.

As a graduate of the school and my home for the last twenty years, JIS is the only place where I've felt normal and special at the same time.

JIS has been giving me working experiences that help me grow not just professionally, but it also shape my perspectives towards education, global cultures, and to be the best version of myself. I am not the best but working at JIS with the values given, make me strive to be the best of me by keeping learning from each other; colleagues, students, admins, and parents.
