Classes
The typical class size at JCS is 22 students, although some are significantly smaller. Most of our students speak Spanish as their first language, but everyone develops fluency in their second language throughout their education at JCS, whether they are more fluent in Spanish or English. Facilities Every classroom at JCS has a whiteboard, TV screen, bookshelves, chairs and tables for students, and a desk and chair for the teacher. Every room also has either fans or air conditioning to keep everyone cool throughout the day. Materials We provide textbooks for teachers to use to plan their lessons and in the younger grades, every student gets a workbook that they can write in for math and English. Every teacher is able to request materials that they need for their class at any point during the year. Technology We pride ourselves on being one of the most technologically advanced schools in Jarabacoa so it is imperative that every teacher has a computer. We give everyone access to a Google Account to save storage on their computer and we use Gradelink to keep every connected. |
JCS SCHOOL TERMS
The school year at JCS runs from August to the following June. We begin the year on August 1st with our 3-week staff training programme. From the beginning of classes in mid-late August, our first time off is for US Thanksgiving in November. Traditionally, we have a staff gathering and a few days off at this time in honor of our American students and staff as well as our founders. From then, before you know it we have our Christmas break in December. We come back to school in early January and our next time off is 1 week for Easter (Holy Week/Spring Break). Spring semester then takes us to the end of the school year in early June when most students breathe a sigh of relief and we all take a few days off.
Before starting the summer holidays, JCS offers a summer school to provide tutoring for struggling students. All teachers are asked to stay for this period to give 1:1 or small group tutoring to ensure that nobody starts the next school year behind. After these last couple of weeks, the summer vacation begins at the end of June. The school is then closed for the month of July.
