In the Indian tradition, the essence of 'education' is beautifully captured by two Sanskrit words: 'shiksha,' meaning 'to discipline,' and 'vidya,' meaning 'to know.' These words underscore the ancient emphasis on nurturing both the mind and the intellect, aligning with Aristotle's definition: “Education is the creation of a sound mind in a sound body.” This perspective resonates deeply with the first revelation of the Holy Quran— “Read in the name of your Lord”—which we proudly embrace as our guiding principle at Jibreel International School.
Our mission is to transform students into compassionate, responsible individuals committed to building communities rooted in love, fellowship, freedom, justice, and harmony. We believe that education is most effective when it instills these values within a supportive and nurturing school environment.
True education fosters the harmonious development of all the faculties bestowed upon us by the Almighty—physical, mental, spiritual, and social. This holistic approach prepares students for a life of dedicated service to humanity.
At Jibreel International School, we are committed to delivering quality modern education in an atmosphere that promotes strong values and ethics. We warmly welcome your child to our school and assure you that we will strive to provide an education that balances both worldly knowledge and spiritual growth. As education transitions from traditional brick-and-mortar methods to a blended learning approach, incorporating technology, it is my privilege to guide our students through this change. Technology is the future, and we must prepare our students accordingly.
In recent years, our school has made significant progress in aligning with the principles of the National Education Policy (NEP 2020). Following the introduction of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) for the Foundational Stage in 2022, we have embraced activity-based teaching methodologies. Our approach emphasizes hands-on learning through a series of progressive, level-appropriate activities, fostering experiential learning. Moreover, we have expanded our co-curricular offerings, organizing a variety of indoor and outdoor activities that allow our students to develop their talents and thrive in a well-rounded educational experience.
In keeping with our commitment to holistic development, we have introduced coaching classes for sports such as cricket, football, roller skating, and badminton. These programs promote physical fitness, teamwork, and discipline, complementing our academic curriculum. Additionally, we have established a variety of academic clubs, including those focused on Science, Mathematics, Literature, and Robotics, providing students with opportunities to explore their passions and develop new skills.
Our school has consistently worked towards shaping individuals who can contribute positively to society and create a better future for India and the world. We are proud that eight batches of our students have successfully completed their CISCE board exams and are now pursuing higher studies at esteemed colleges and universities both in India and abroad.
Finally, I must acknowledge that education is a partnership between the school and the home. The school represents one side of the coin, while the other side is home, with parents playing an equally crucial role. We are deeply grateful to our parents for their unwavering support in helping us achieve our goals, and we look forward to their continued collaboration. With the blessings of the Supreme Being, we are committed to nurturing a generation of geniuses who will shine as gems of the human race.
