What differentiates JIS Middle School from other schools is our commitment of time and resources to support our students' transition from childhood to adolescence. This stage of life is filled with key questions, such as "Who am I? What are my strengths and weaknesses?" and "How do I fit in with the people around me?" We provide ongoing support for students as they explore the world around them and become at ease with themselves.

A strong and proven academic program, extensive co-curricular opportunities and strong relationships between students, teachers and parents provide a foundation that breeds success. . .

We recognize that Middle School students are in the midst of a unique period of change, from childhood to adolescence. We believe that during this gradual period of transition, his or her education should be broad, balanced, personally challenging and designed to help each student achieve her or his full potential.
