STUDENT LIFE

SPORTS

We offer plenty of sports options on our spacious grounds for both girls and boys. Sports take up a significant part of the formal school schedule/ timetable, as we strive to ensure that the children meet the advised daily quota of at least one hour of active play per day. This physical activity has been proven to greatly reduce the risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease later in life as well as improve psychological health and keep feelings of depression at bay.

Physical activity also refreshes the brain and enables a recharge before the next intellectual challenge. Sports offered include:- Soccer, Lawn tennis, Basketball, and Martial Arts. To boost strategy and understanding of abstract concepts, we also offer Chess. Many international athletes and sports personalities were introduced to their sport of choice as children and went to achieve worldwide success due to the early steps taken by guardians and coaches in identifying talent, focused and deliberate training as well as continued refining of their technique.

MUSIC AND DANCE

Traditional, classical, and contemporary are all offered at AJS. Though part of the school timetable, we strive to identify areas where children exhibit talent and encourage them to continue to take after-class music clubs to polish their skills. Classical lessons for instruments like the piano, the violin, cello are included. Traditional instruments like the drums, xylophone, thumb-piano etcetera are by no means neglected.

ARTS, CRAFTS, AND POTTERY

Children are able to participate in handicrafts through the weaving of mats, baskets; pottery, painting, and sculpting. These activities not only build confidence but also hone hand-eye coordination, motor-reflexes and stimulate pattern development and recognition.

These skills may translate into income-generating ventures in adulthood, or act as a means of developing and refining skills that can be used in a variety of other fields like branding, marketing, clothes design, and 3D computer graphics/ printing.

AGRICULTURE

Through working in our mini school farm and tree nursery- our pupils are exposed to the concepts of horticulture and husbandry early. They are then able to appreciate the earth and environment as natural resources from which we harvest foodstuffs and other crops.

Their eyes are opened to the delicate interaction of the physical elements like air, water, sunshine, and how these play a part in the growth of crops, bearing of fruit, and nourishing of livestock. Our philosophy is “Teach one, grow one” as we encourage each child to plant a tree seedling and watch its growth. A noteworthy experience for them is not only watching their crop bear fruit, but also engaging in harvesting and bringing their produce full-circle to the school kitchen, and finally to the dining table.
