The children are taught through books specially designed by school teachers. Whereas in the Lower Primary School (Grade I-III), foundations of subjects like Mathematics, Environmental Science and English are laid through an imaginatively designed hands-on programme.
French is also introduced as a main subject for children in Grade II in order to equip students with an International Language that is widely spoken throughout the world. The Curriculum in Upper Primary (Grade IV-V) and Middle School (Grade VI-VIII) aims at building a strong hold on all basic subjects while putting special focus on the practical aspect.

The school follows a curricular which can be broadly categorised as follows:
Innovative Teaching
Modern methods are employed to enable learning for comprehensive and holistic education. These methods are a departure from the traditional rote learning and it is progressed by
(a) Development of multiple intelligence.
(b) Student centric learning.
(c) Project based learning.
(d) Creativity- centred learning.
Growing with Activities
“Do it and learn it” is the simple ethic followed by teachers at JSHS. For this there is a “ Formative Task Planner” planned every two months so as push the children to learn through their own experiences and gain through other’s experiences.
Multi Disciplinary Integrated Learning
Learning cannot be compartmentalised. So is the belief of JSHS team. We believe that children should know how to use one subject’s concepts to solve a given issue of another subject. Hence multidisciplinary projects are given to children to use their learning as a whole.
Creating Little Leaders
JSHS infuse a sense of leadership by cultivating a thought of Ayn Rand _ “The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.” This thought is made permanent through our system of giving a chance to everyone to be a Monitor for fortnight and the best of them are moved forward to be Prefects and then student council. A huge team of class monitors, 200 prefects of houses and 20 council members share the responsibility of leading their fellows to ward right path by following school’s code of conduct.
Relationship With Parents
JSHS believes that growth starts from maintaining a strong connection and open communication with not only students but also with parents. In order to make this relationship flourish, the school regularly communicates with parents in form of consistent parent-teacher meetings and updates are given about all class activities, events and happenings. Regular Feedbacks are taken from the parents in order to identify areas of improvement in teaching methods, curriculum or school facilities.
Snap Homework: The school has its own communication app where information about subject homework is provided for both the parents and students to see.
CampusCare10x: The school also has its own portal, where all latest information about class activities, projects, upcoming school events, exam dates, marks, attendance of the child, fee details and live bus tracking can be seen.
At JSHS not only mother and father but grandparents also are a regular invitee to the school in class presentation, recognition days, annual days and sports days and many other celebrations of the school.
