Jewels International School

Jewels International School of Kinshasa

 

In a global society, Educational Excellence includes highlighting the skills that students gain from their lived experiences, including: Innovation, Adaptability, Critical Analysis, Cross-cultural Communication, and Teamwork.

 

Jewels International School of Kinshasa is privately owned and founded in 1972 by Mr. & Mrs. Munshi due to the demand of families who wanted affordable, quality English education for their children.  We accept children as young as 18 months to 18 years of age.

 

What makes us different: Multiculturalism.

JISK is a multicultural school compromising of over 800 students representing over 45 different nationalities. This diversity is unparalleled in this country and provides our students with plenty of opportunities to learn valuable lessons.

To assist students from non-English speaking backgrounds, JISK has an excellent English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program run by qualified educators in their field.

JISK prides itself in being more like a community rather than an institution. We work hard to ensure that your children are not only “educated” in the simplest definition of the term- to be able to read and write and reason- but also to educate them in being global citizens who are able to succeed in an ever changing world.

Montessori

JISK houses three complete Montessori environments for students between 3-6 years of age. Qualified AMI educators from overseas conduct these environments. Montessori education prepares students for life.

Montessori educators help students to become self-confident, emotionally secure and active global citizens. A Montessori classroom is designed to combine the three-year age groupings. Being in the same classroom with the same teacher for three years gives the students’ emotional and social stability upon which they build a strong academic foundation. Students use manipulative materials that allow abstract concepts to be represented in a concrete form.
