Linked to the Sustainable Development Goals, the Eco Sub Themes at JIS are designed to address the climate emergency. They’re embedded into the STEAM curriculum — which spans science, technology, engineering, and mathematics — and mapped across four different student-selected project areas: Biodiversity & Nature, Energy, Marine & Coast and Waste & Litter.
Here, students challenge themselves to find green solutions to real, global issues. In Year 9, for example, they designed solutions to address the global e-waste challenge and presented their work at a university-hosted STEAM conference.
Just like that, eco-initiatives often take students beyond classroom settings. Just recently, they participated in the FOBISIA Student Sustainability Conference 2026 in Bangkok, where they joined keynote talks, workshops, and student-led initiatives. The school arranged a TerraCycle Foundation activity while in the Thai capital as well, where students helped remove 964 kilogrammes of waste from the Lat Phrao Canal and learnt about plastic pollution during the process.
