IB MYP Classes VI TO VIII

Service at NMAJS celebrates the Indian Ethos of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam": the world is one family of learners. Students develop their knowledge, skills, and values to engage with the world as global citizens through service. As an essential component of the IB MYP, service emphasises the importance of taking what you learn in the classroom and applying it to real-world situations. It goes beyond completing a task; it involves reflecting on your experiences, developing a sense of responsibility, and understanding the impact of your actions on both you and the community, both local and global. Service is not about the benefits that the "server" receives, but the greater benefits to the community that is being "served". Service goes beyond mere volunteering and is designed to be a thoughtful and purposeful act that contributes to the well-being of others and at NMAJS students make a difference to the lives of others.

In the final year of MYP at NMAJS (Class 8) the students engage in a culminating experience over several months that allows them to put into practice what they have been learning throughout their three years in the MYP. This project (CP) is an extended learning experience following the service-learning cycle (investigating, planning, taking action and reflecting). Students apply their disciplinary learning including, ATL skill development and Service as Action learning outcomes to address the NMAJS philosophy of Global Citizenship. The NMAJS Objectives of inculcates in children the values of compassion, empathy and respect towards others and the environment. Children develop into principled, reflective and self-directed learners, whilst developing the qualities of self-discipline, positive self-image, teamwork, spirit of adventure and leadership.
