Our educational philosophy, evolved over thirty years of work in the educational arena,
sees learning as an EduCreative process that nurtures each child’s unique set of talents,
strengths and skills through a balanced Mind Body Soul programme.
Mrs Pinky Dalal, the chairperson at JBCN (founded in 2002) has been an educator for over 30 years. Her journey in the field of education started in 1984 when she opened her first preschool, Children’s Nook in South Mumbai, with her experience in the education field and took on consulting projects for high schools, setting up the first IBDP programme in South Mumbai. In 2009, JBCN International School became operational with its first campus in Borivali.
The mission of the school is to nurture inquiring young minds through EduCreative experiences through unique and stimulating teaching approaches that incorporate the best of national and international curricula. Our programme focuses on developing the mind, body and soul of every learner in order to create a life-long love for learning. Our learning experiences, while remaining rooted in Indian values, will enable them to become successful leaders and effective communicators who can adapt effortlessly to a culturally diverse and ever-changing world.
Over the years, JBCN Education had much to celebrate. Starting out with Children’s Nook Group of Pre-schools in 1984, today JBCN Education has a group of schools operating in three campuses across Mumbai known as JBCN International Schools. Amidst the journey from a single pre-school to a group of International Schools, JBCN Education has provided its expertise to a variety of educational institutions in different cities and states, either as owners, managing partners, academic consultants or management.
At JBCN International, we aim to provide learners with 360 degree learning,
where the academic learning is complemented by infrastructure and strong co–curricular programs
At JBCN International, Borivali, we aim to provide learners with 360 degree learning, where the academic learning is complemented by infrastructure, a strong co – curricular program which includes sports, theatre and creative art and assessment that truly serves as feedback of learning rather than just testing. The events and special days at JBCN enhance the skills that the learners are introduced to in their classrooms, music, dance, art rooms and the sports field. Changing the existing trends in education is JBCN Borivali’s ‘Club’ culture. While many schools in the country organize clubs only to satisfy certain mandates, JBCN Borivali looks on to clubs as a value addition. At JBCN, the belief is that learning is continuous and lifelong – whether for board members, teachers or learners.
Our aim is to create life-long learners, thinkers, innovators and leaders who are well versed in 21st century core skills, moulding them into responsible, conscientious and globally aware citizens who will stand out in the real world and make a difference to the world community. Our strong belief, that the learning environment that provides the right balance of freedom, creativity and structure, allowing the emergence of original thought is essential and the same is echoed in our school corridors as we watch our children blossom each day, a world, where boundaries would not restrict any question that our learners might have. We understand that to promote originality in thought, one must be able to accept that traditional thoughts will be challenged, and we must have the courage to allow the children to change them.
Visit SchoolWe implement the best educational practices and draw upon an array of resources aimed at supporting global learning through the IB and Cambridge curriculums. We have always believed that the student is central to everything that we do. Each student is unique and we give each of them a platform to develop their skills, talents and abilities to the fullest. Through a holistic approach to learning that incorporates academic, sports, performing arts and social responsibility within the curriculum, JBCN learners are recognised by their ability to empathize, look beyond the obvious, question, debate and seek answers, make decisions and have the conviction to stand by them and become global citizens.
JBCN International School believes that every child is unique and gifted with exceptional talents, strengths and skills. To nurture these talents and skills, we have developed our EduCreative process which has a 3-dimensional approach i.e. Achieving Academic Excellence, Enriching Creative Experiences and Learning Beyond the Classroom. We believe that a robust programme needs to equip our children with skills and competencies that will thrive through the test of technology, trends, rapid transformation and time. In addition to providing a well designed curriculum through a variety of teaching-learning methodologies, learning at JBCN International Schools is further fortified through the iPROPEL programme.
Visit SchoolAt Children’s Nook group of preschools were started by our chairperson Mrs. Pinky Dalal more than three decades ago. It is her vision and belief that “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” Meaningful education is that which raises compassionate human beings. Our curricula impart values by means of stories dramatisation and actual practices. Our cutting edge curriculum is supported by teaching methodologies which have evolved from years of practical experience and formal education system such as international Montessori, play way and Indian Gurukul systems. We live by our philosophy “Learning is easy ....when learning is fun, nurturing and empowering our young learners”.

"One People. One World", is a motto that defines their endeavours towards imbibing acceptance.
JBCN'ites believe that everyone should have opportunities and be accepted, should recognize that they are part of and responsible for the world we live in and that everyone can be uplifted. Most of their actions are influenced by this overarching belief. The learners imbibe this philosophy in all that they do whether it is teaching the helpers in school – literacy or building homes for economically backward through habitat for humanity or simply through stopping the use of ball pens so that we may reduce our consumption of plastic and wastage among others. The outreach programmes come alive through the JBCN Heals, Cares and Aware banner, adopting principles of the UN global sustainability project in daily practice. JBCN’ites are encouraged to challenge their boundaries and think outside the box through events such as the innovators convention, literary festivals, sporting tournaments and theatre performances to name a few.
