At JAM, we believe that all children can learn at their own pace given the right environment, time and support hence we never lose focus of the uniqueness of each child under our care. Our ultimate goal, to empower minds and build confidence in all our learners so that they can make a difference in society. For learners to acquire 21st Century learner skills, they need to be exposed to a balanced curriculum, rich in knowledge, skills and meaningful experience-hence the use of Cornerstones- an ambitious and engaging primary curriculum tailored to the child’s development stage at each level.
