"We have the finest counselling experts in our schools with years of experience guiding learners through each step of the university application process - from career guidance to college applications. Career counsellors work closely with the learners from Grade VIII onwards to encourage them to think and plan their future. The learners' strengths, areas of development, and interests are assessed in detail through psychometric tests, workshops, and continuous interactions with these counsellors," added Mr Kunal Dalal while elaborating on the school's approach to career and university counselling.

JBCN International Schools have had a great year with impressive University placements and a record number of scholarships. The EduCreative learning programme has truly empowered the children to excel and reach for the stars.
