Academic extracurricular activities are invaluable for student development as they foster essential skills such as critical thinking, teamwork, and effective communication.
Participation in these activities encourages students to explore their interests, enhances their leadership abilities, and promotes a sense of responsibility and commitment. Additionally, involvement in such activities can strengthen university and college applications by showcasing a well-rounded profile, demonstrating initiative, and highlighting the ability to balance academics with extracurricular pursuits, all of which are qualities that institutions highly value.
At Jumeirah College, we offer the following Academic ECAs:
Model United Nations (MUN):
MUN is a simulation of the United Nations, where students take on the roles of diplomats representing different countries. They debate pressing global issues, draft resolutions, and work to find collaborative solutions to international problems. The MUN at Jumeirah College allows students to improve their public speaking, negotiation, and research skills while gaining a deeper understanding of global affairs.
At JC, we are hosting a conference on the 22nd-24th of November. For more information, please visit here: https://sites.google.com/jumeirahcollege.com/jcmun-24/today
Debate ECA:
The Debate Extra Curricular Activity (ECA) at Jumeirah College provides students with an opportunity to develop their critical thinking and public speaking skills. Students participate in structured debates on various topics, learning how to form coherent arguments, think on their feet, and engage in intellectual discourse.
World Scholar's Cup:
The World Scholar's Cup (WSC) is an academic competition that combines debating, writing, and quizzing across a variety of subjects, including science, history, literature, and art. At Jumeirah College, students participating in WSC collaborate in teams, expanding their knowledge in diverse fields and developing skills in teamwork, analysis, and creativity. The competition culminates in a global round, bringing together students from all over the world.
