The school also enriches the kinds of motivation and depth of wisdom they acquire as they grow into maturity. It is this balanced and strong values formation that will mold children into becoming well-rounded persons prepared for life’s challenges.
7 Pillars of JASMS Education
1. Learning by doing

3. Discovering self initiative
4. Self confidence for responsible adulthood
5. Leadership through early career formation
6. Citizenship through self reliance
7. Creativity for self determination
