Faculty
Our faculty come from across Canada and elsewhere and are selected on the basis of their experience as educators, advanced degrees in their disciplines, work experience beyond the classroom, a personal familiarity with world travel, and their willingness to participate fully in every aspect of College life. The teacher-student relationship is unique, as teachers are not only instructors in the classroom, but also chaperones on excursions, coaches during competitions, and mentors in every circumstance.
Faculty Advisors
Each student has a faculty advisor as a point of contact and support to help guide them in matters relating to academic progress and day-to-day activities. These small advisee groups of 8-9 students meet regularly with their advisor to share and discuss experiences and any challenges they are facing as they adjust and mature. Advisees and faculty leads tend to form a strong bond during their time abroad.
Student Leadership
Students have opportunities to become involved in a variety of leadership initiatives. As is the case in other schools, students must apply for these positions and selection is completed promptly by the end of September each academic year.
The Foyer Executive and Committee
This group of leaders organizes student activities and is similar to the Student Council in other schools.
The Character & Wellness Committee
This group of students works to foster character development as it pertains to personal, academic and social success; it also promotes and supports student health and wellness - physical, emotional and mental. As well, it manages the NJC chapter of jack.org.
