Principal's Welcome Message

I would like to personally welcome you and your family to Jumeira Baccalaureate School, a Taaleem school. JBS is a fully authorized IB continuum school; is accredited by the Council of International Schools; is awarded the Quality Mark by the Association for Character Education; and offers Pearson BTEC courses.

The ultimate aim of education is to prepare students for a well-rounded life so they can truly flourish and positively contribute to society. Our approach to promote wellbeing is to develop positive character traits in our students. We do this through the IB Approaches to Learning skills, the IB learner profile traits and our own 4 R’s (respect, responsibility, resilience, and resourcefulness) which are all taught inside and outside lessons. Our staff are also expected to model positive character traits so good character is caught. Furthermore, our service learning programs, extra-curricular activities, field trips, (overseas) camps, fixtures, and student leadership offerings all aim to develop and strengthen positive character traits that are necessary to achieve the highest potential in life.

We believe that our wellbeing approach is successful as our IB Diploma and Career-related Program graduates have obtained IB results which are well above global average. Moreover, as a school of inclusion we are proud of our outstanding pass rate year after year. Our students have been accepted at universities all over the world and many hold jobs which did not even exist a few years ago.

Our school also has some unique aspects (USP’S) Including a well-developed French A program for native speakers allowing them to follow a Language and Literature course In line with their home curriculum; a strong commitment to Arabic language learners with a highly celebrated program Incorporating the IB and the MOE curriculums and an Inclusive education program for student unable to access main stream school.

JBS is a unique school not only for what we offer but also for being an international community of over 85 different nationalities where parents are partners in all we do.
