Challenge in the Curriculum

Intellectual challenge is an integral part of all parts of the teaching and learning process and of the opportunities offered to the children beyond the classroom and beyond the school day. JONK introduces a number of initiatives that enable children to develop a love for learning, taking risks, exploring the unknown and playing intellectually.
