JBCN Education, a pioneer in India`s K-12 education sector, is paving the way for its pupils to enter the global world by incorporating new learning initiatives into its curriculum. JBCN encourages learners to study and embrace new countries, cultures, and nationalities as part of their daily education by leveraging its worldwide relationships across numerous schools.

To develop the spirit of internationalism, JBCN has implemented it at several levels (pre-primary, primary, and secondary), for example, Pre-Primary students participate in celebrations of numerous festivals around the world. This allows children to gain a deeper awareness of diverse cultures while also assisting them in recognising parallels and differences across celebrations in India. They participate in workshops with educators and peers on a variety of topics, including arts & crafts, music, and storytelling. Guest teachers from Singapore, Ghana, Greece, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Romania have already interacted with the students.

Students in grades two through five participate in learner exchange programmes with students from other countries, which allows them to learn about new cultures and exposes them to diversity, allowing them to demonstrate a higher level of cultural awareness. Letter and greeting card exchanges, resurrecting the concept of pen pals, virtual global debates on critical themes, and even masterclasses have all resulted from the collaboration. JBCN has facilitated two long-term relationships at the secondary school level. One with Kazakhstan`s Nazarbayev Intellectual School for cultural interaction, Model United Nations (MUN), science projects, cooperative lessons, and faculty development, among other things. The second programme, dubbed EUMIND, is a year-long collaborative study project on Human Rights with its Dutch partner school, Lyceum Oudehoven. Aside from that, JBCN hosts competitions, webinars, workshops, and guest sessions that attract students from all over the world. For example, schools from 15+ nations competed in the most recent coding and entrepreneurship competition. Mr Michael Sturm, the Adviser to the Directorate General of International and European Relations of the European Central Bank, interacted with the Learners on the Bank`s operations during a recent Masterclass. During the encounter, JBCN students inquired about the ECB`s responsibilities and monetary policies during the financial crisis. Mr. Kunal Dalal, M.D. of JBCN Education, commented on this, saying, "Instilling the concept of internationalism and partnering with schools all over the world is a fantastic effort for our students since it provides them with the necessary global experience. We`ve worked with over 20 schools from around the world, as well as a variety of speakers. Our approach to education has always been progressive, and we strive to provide our students with all of the necessary skills to prepare them for the future. "

In Mumbai, JBCN oversees four foreign schools. In EducationWorld`s 2021-22 nationwide school survey and a 2021 Times survey of the best schools in Mumbai, it was named a top international school. JBCN Schools` graduating students from the 2021-22 IBDP and A levels batch recently received a record number of scholarships totalling more than USD 2.5 million from prestigious universities in the United Kingdom and North America, including the University of California (Berkeley), Georgia Institute of Technology, University of Pennsylvania, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Boston University, Oxford University, Cambridge University, Imperial College, Kings College, and The University of Manchester.

JBCN`s accomplishments in the field of education, as well as its commitment to incorporating progressive education into its curriculum, are evidence of the organization`s attempts to raise thoughtful global citizens of the future.
