EVENTS CALENDAR

At JINS, we have different events planned per term for the children to participate in and enjoy. For example. Magical Pumpkin Day, World Book Day, UAE National Day and Sports Day.

We also host major events throughout the academic year that parents are invited to participate in. These include such as The Festival of Lights, Graduation, Festive Sing-a–long and International Day.

STAGGERED ENTRY

Children are invited to attend settling in sessions or a ‘soft start’ for the first week of the new school year. This allows them to become familiar with their new surroundings, adults and peers at a pace that is less overwhelming . Settling in is a very important time for all children.  It is important that they are allowed to move at their own pace and that each child will be seeing as unique and might require different support as they get to know the teaching staff.
