Message from the Supervisor
We, at JSSIS are truly proud to be the contributors towards holistic development in students, with the sole purpose of sending them out into the world as knowledgeable and fortified young individuals, ready to take on challenges with a fiery spirit of progressive influence that can make the world a better place to live in.
We carefully choose our words and actions when interacting with our dear students so that they may emulate the very same in their attitudes and behaviour with others. Discipline, Dedication and Devotion is a part of our work culture here and it is indeed gratifying to see our students realize its importance and constantly work towards being a better version of themselves each day.
Education is truly not just the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire and I am grateful to be a part of this intellectual experience. God bless!
