OUR Our Purpose
PURPOSE
Igniting a lifelong sense of adventure, courage and purpose through an extraordinary, immersive education.
Our purpose is reflected in every aspect of life at NJC and serves as the foundation for our progressive approach to education. For over 60 years, our program has consistently resulted in graduates who are knowledgeable, confident, independent and leaders of their own lives.
Knowledge
NJC’s enriched academic, social and global environment promotes personal and intellectual maturity, awareness, curiosity and a lifelong commitment to the pursuit of knowledge.
Confidence
NJC students are those who choose to take the personal and social risk of leaving all that they know behind to explore all that is new. They emerge as positive, secure, adaptable, decisive and self-aware young adults who embrace change and the future with confidence.
Independence
NJC students live and travel in new countries, cultures and languages, far away from home for an extended period of time. In successfully making choices on their own, they develop profound personal responsibility, drive, accountability and a lasting sense of independence.
Leadership
The transformative NJC experience empowers students to forever apply their knowledge, to have confidence in their unique abilities, and to be exceedingly independent so that they can take action to lead their own lives and others in making a positive difference in the world.
