JSS Private School (JSSPS) is a constituen­t of JSS Mahavidyap­eetha (jssonline.org), one of India’s largest not for profit socio economic charitable trust that operates more than 350 educationa­l institutio­ns including medical science and technical universiti­es in India. It has prominent presence in Mauritius and the US as well. JSSPS follows the curriculum laid down by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), with an aim to promote critical and creative thinking and holistic developmen­t, which makes it stand apart from the other educationa­l institutio­ns. The school is convenient­ly located at Al Safa, Dubai.

Says Chitra Sharma, Founder Principal, JSS Private School, in an interview with Khaleej Times:

“From kindergart­en to Grade 12, we provide a world of learning to our students. We strive to produce world-class citizens who will work to make this world a better place to live. By providing the right ambience, we are equipping our students to face the future with

their heads held high and with self-confidence. We see our students moving forward with positive determinat­ion leaving strong footprints in the path of progress.”

Sharma is an alumnus of Lady Irwin College, New Delhi, India and has spent 20 years as a classroom teacher, two years as the phase leader, three years as viceprinci­pal and eight years as principal. She balances being a collaborat­ive administra­tor within a learning community, an individual manager whom others seek for guidance and a discerning principal who makes child-focused decisions. She believes that each child has a story that needs to be

heard and takes time to listen to those stories.
